A Picture from the Ramparts
In this short tale, Hans Christian Andersen depicts a castle's ramparts on an autumn day. A bird flies through the prison cell window and softens the heart of the miserable prisoner with its song.
It was published as the first part of "Two Pictures of Copenhagen" in 1846.
Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was a Danish author, poet and artist. Celebrated for children's literature, his most cherished fairy tales include "The Emperor's New Clothes", "The Little Mermaid", "The Nightingale", "The Steadfast Tin Soldier", "The Snow Queen", "The Ugly Duckling" and "The Little Match Girl". His books have been translated into every living language, and today there is no child or adult that has not met Andersen's whimsical characters. His fairy tales have been adapted to stage and screen countless times, most notably by Disney with the animated films "The Little Mermaid" in 1989 and "Frozen", which is loosely based on "The Snow Queen", in 2013.
Due to his contribution to children's literature, Andersen's birth date, April 2, is celebrated as International Children's Book Day.
