The Swineherd: English & Bulgarian [EPUB ebook] 

‘The Swineherd’ is a literary fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen about a poor prince who wants to marry the Emperor’s daughter and sends her two beautiful gifts, a nightingale and a rose. The princess rejects the humble gifts because they’re real and natural, rather than artificial. The prince then disguises himself and applies for the position of swineherd at the palace. Once on the job, he creates a musical pot. The princess slogs through the mud to the swineherd’s hut and pays ten kisses for the pot. When the swineherd follows the pot with the creation of a musical rattle, she pays one hundred kisses for it. The Emperor, disgusted that his daughter would kiss a swineherd for a toy, casts her out. The prince, having found the princess unworthy of his love, washes his face, dons his royal raiment, and spurns the princess as her father did. The princess is left outside the palace door singing dolefully.The tale was first published 20 December 1841 in Copenhagen, Denmark in Fairy Tales Told for Children This children’s e-book is fully illustrated all-color.
