Hans
Christian Andersen is fascination with this amazing singing bird of the
North – that will challenge any similar song from more southern based
jungleturfs – inspired him to his Tale of The Nightingale with its
amazing wide repertoire.
"The Nightingale" (Danish: "Nattergalen") is a literary fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen
about an emperor who prefers the tinkling of a bejeweled mechanical
bird to the song of a real nightingale. When the Emperor is near death,
the nightingale's song restores his health. Well received upon its
publication in Copenhagen in 1843 in New Fairy Tales, the tale is believed to have been inspired by the author's unrequited love for opera singer Jenny Lind, the "Swedish nightingale".
