- Abstract
- en_US A few lines of prose come below a large picture on each of these 7½" x 10" pages with wavy die cuts outlining the pages and matching the contours of the cover illustration. The pamphlet is one of a series of 52, listed on the inside of the back cover. In this version of Hans Christian Anderson's story, the beautiful song of the nightingale charms many and then the emperor. His guests are charmed most of all by this nightingale. A little girl helps him find this beloved bird. The nightingale is happy to sing for the emperor but only in the open air; the emperor lets him out of cage with a leash every day to sing. But one day he receives a mechanical bird. Pull this bird's string and he will sing -- always the same song -- with exceptional quality. In the meantime, the nightingale escapes, but his escape is hardly noticed. One day the mechanical bird breaks down. Fast forward to the emperor's death. He dreams of the nightingale's songs. The emperor dies, but the nightingale sings him back to life. Maybe the most telling illustration shows through a window the nightingale flying off unnoticed by the engaged courtiers.
