That rare case, when the tale by the great H.C. Andersen has a happy ending. The Wild Swans is considered being one of Andersen’s most touching tales. It is a tale about love and hate, loyalty and betrayal, hope and utter despair, and shows us how nothing can weaken the love between a young princess and her seven brothers. Their stepmother hates her husband’s children for no reason, and to punish them she takes away the voice from the princess and transforms the princes into swans. This tale teaches us how love, devotion, and faith can work wonders and overcome any evil.

Hans Christian Andersen
Hans Christian Andersen (2 April 1805 – 4 August 1875) was a Danish author. Although a prolific writer of plays, travelogues, novels, and poems, he is best remembered for his literary fairy tales.
Andersen’s fairy tales, consisting of 156 stories across nine volumes and translated into more than 125 languages, have become culturally embedded in the West’s collective consciousness, readily accessible to children, but presenting lessons of virtue and resilience in the face of adversity for mature readers as well. His stories have inspired ballets, plays, and animated and live-action films.
