This beautiful story set in the empire of China was actually written by the famous Danish children's writer Hans Christian Andersen. It first appeared in a book in 1843- and that's a very long time ago indeed! Some people say that the story was about a young lady Andersen had fallen in love with, a famous singer at the time whose voice was as sweet as that of a nightingale! The nightingale is a small brown bird and looks very like a thrush- some might say that the nightingale looks plain compared to other birds that have bright colours and shiny feathers! But the songs that the nightingale sings and its beautiful voice are one of the most beautiful sounds to be heard on earth! So the next time you see a little brown bird hopping around the garden- ask it to sing for you-it might just be our marvelous little nightingale!
The Nightingale is the national bird of Ukraine.
