Stories from Hans Christian Andersen

Excerpt from The Nightingale: And Other Stories From Hans Andersen In China, as you know, the Emperor is a Chinaman, and all the people around him are Chinamen too. It is many years since the story I am going to tell you happened, but that is all the more reason for telling it, lest it should be forgotten. The emperor's palace was the most beautiful thing in the world; it was made entirely of the finest porcelain, very costly, but at the same time so fragile that it could only be touched with the very greatest care. There were the most extraordinary flowers to be seen in the garden; the most beautiful ones had little silver bells tied to them, which tinkled perpetually, so that one should not pass the flowers without looking at them. Every little detail in the garden had been most carefully thought out, and it was so big, that even the gardener himself did not know where it ended.

Edmund Dulacs Fairy Book

Alexandre Sergueïevitch Pouchkine

The story of the once-fierce King Dodon, who becomes fond of peace and pleasure in his old age. As he grows old, his once-subdued enemies begin to attack his kingdom until al old astrologer gifts him a magical golden cockerel, which alerts the kingdom to danger and allows the king to rest peacefully again. In return for the golden cockerel, the old astrologer refuses generous gifts and honors from the king, instead asking that the first request he makes of the king to be granted. The king agrees. After a time of peace, King Dodon follows his sons and soldiers toward a danger in the east to find a beautiful young woman, the Queen of Shemakhan. He rests in the tent of the Queen of Shamakhan for a long time, eating, drinking, and being entertained by servants. Since the kingdom needs him, King Dodon's generals convince him to return, suggesting that he take the Queen of Shemakhan with him as his bride. When they return to the kingdom, the old astrologer returns to ask for the Queen of Shamakhan. When King Dodon refuses, both the old astrologer and the Queen of Shemakhan vanish, and the golden cockerel pecked the king on his head, causing him to fall and perhaps to die.

The Best Books of Fairy Tales

Rooted in tales both ancient and modern, these vibrant images date from the early twentieth century's Golden Age of Illustration. Edmund Dulac, a prominent artist of the period, created them for books published between 1905 and 1928. Their moods range from the shadowy foreboding of Jane Eyre to the venturesome spirits of Treasure Island and the lighthearted fantasies of A Fairy Garland. Other featured titles include Shakespeare's The Tempest, The Arabian Nights, The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyam, and the fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen. French-born Edmund Dulac arrived in London in 1904, when new advances in the printing process kindled a rage for picture books. Dulac's imaginative powers and technical skills assured the popularity of his book illustrations, many of which were sold separately as fine art paintings. After World War I, when the appetite for deluxe volumes waned, the artist turned his talents in many new directions, including portraiture, theatrical costume and set design, newspaper caricature, and stamp design. This retrospective of his early works is the only such anthology available, offering a singular tribute to an artist from a halcyon era of art inspired by literature.

Lyrics Pathetic & Humorous from A to Z

Sinbad the Sailor is a fictional sailor and the hero of a story-cycle of Middle Eastern origin; he is described as living in Baghdad, during the Abbasid Caliphate. During his voyages throughout the seas east of Africa and south of Asia, he has fantastic adventures going to magical places, meeting monsters, and encountering supernatural phenomena. This Sindbad the Sailor has a story to tell-the story of his life-but he never told it to any until, one day, there came to him one Sindbad the Landsman, a man of poor and humble birth. This man pleased him greatly with an apt recitation dealing with the widely different lots dispensed by God to men, and, being pleased, he was struck with the happy conceit that, now Sindbad the Sailor was at last confronted with Sindbad the Landsman, it would be no bad thing were he to narrate the story of his life so that all might know his strange adventures and conjecture no longer as to the source of his fabulous wealth.
