The Swineherd

Once upon a time there was a prince. And although his kingdom was tiny, it was still a real one — one could get married there! So, the prince decided to propose to the daughter of the emperor himself. He... sent her the most precious gifts he had — a rose and a nightingale… And what happened next, you will learn from this book — one of the most famous tales by Hans Christian Andersen titled «The Swineherd». A cheerful and educational story illustrated in the style of «Rococo» by the artist from Petersburg, Anton Lomaev, who made the main characters of the book pigs of all ages and colors — attentive and ironic observers of the poor prince's courtship of the haughty daughter of the emperor.
