  Every day at noon (except Sundays) a new A-Z post goes live - or no post today.
  The theme for this year, is Dream - Duality. let's see what crosses my mind on this theme.

E for Enhjørningegården / Unicorn Farm

Enhjørningegården, hvor alle Susans eventyr starter, findes faktisk i den virkelige verden også. Da jeg var lille, var vi ofte på besøg hos en moster i hendes sommerhus -  ja det er hende fra historien - omend hun nok ikke ville kunne genkende sig selv ;)
     I nærheden af sommerhuset for enden af en stor, bølgende kornmark, lå der en lang række træer. Bag de her træer, lå der en gammel, forfalden gård. Den så spændende ud, men vi børn havde fået at vide, at det var strengt forbudt at gå derhen. Og i modsætning til Susan holdt vi os faktisk fra at gå derhen, men ikke fra at kigge. Vi sad ofte på et af træerne, der var væltet og hvis grene var blevet til hestelignende stammer og drømte om de eventyr, vi kunne opleve der på gården. I vore drømme var der smuglere, guldgravere, skjulte skatte på lofterne og sådan noget - i stil med De Fem-bøgerne.

The Unicorn Farm, where all Susan's adventures start, actually exists in the real world too. When I was little, we often visited an aunt in her summer house - yes, that's her from the story - although she probably wouldn't recognise herself ;)
     Near the cottage, at the end of a large rolling cornfield, was a long row of trees. Behind these trees, stood an old, dilapidated farmhouse. It looked interesting, but we children had been told that it was strictly forbidden to go there. And, unlike Susan, we actually refrained from going there, but not from looking. We often sat on one of the fallen trees, whose branches had turned into horse-like trunks, and dreamed of the adventures we could have on the farm. In our dreams we conquered smugglers, evil gold miners, or found treasures in hidden rooms in the attic, and so on - very much like The Famous Five.
