"The Nightingale" (Danish: "Nattergalen") is a literary fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen about an emperor who prefers the tinkling of a bejeweled mechanical bird to the song of a real nightingale. When the Emperor is near death, the nightingale's song restores his health. Well received upon its publication in Copenhagen in 1843, the tale is believed to have been inspired by the author's unrequited love for singer and fellow Scandinavian, Jenny Lind. The story has been adapted to opera, ballet, musical play, television drama and animated film.
