The Youngest Swan
"...but one of them, the youngest swan, remained behind, and laid his head in his sister's lap, while she stroked his wings; and they remained together the whole day." -Hans Christian Andersen

The Wild Swans
A few days ago we drove through Solvang, CA and visited a Hans Christian Andersen Museum.
Some Dutchy paper cutty things and a portrait.
Some really fun old books.
I've never loved most of his stories. The Ugly Duckling...meh. The Princess and the Pea...meh. But strangely enough, my very favorite fairy tale came from him. The Wild Swans.
I have a very fun idea of a girl and some swan brothers in my head now.
