This is a beautiful tale from Hans
Anderson's collection and published in the 1840s. It is full of gentle
messages: the value of books, the beauty of nature, the importance of
habitat and the dangers of ambition and sycophancy.
It is the story of a king who builds a beautiful palace and then
realises that his most beautiful treasure, the nightingale, is in his
own garden, but he wants to keep it in a cage.
Another way of looking at the story is that it is about a greedy man who
gets his comeuppance.
