Images from Andersen’s literary fairy tales that have been burned into my mind since childhood:

The swindlers in The Emperor’s New Clothes stuffing their pockets full of the fine silk and gold thread they were meant to be weaving with

The witch combing the memories out of Gerda’s hair with her golden comb in The Snow Queen

The little bird in The Nightingale singing so beautifully of the silent churchyard, which is like a garden with evergreen grass, elder trees and white roses watered by the tears of those left behind, that Death himself becomes homesick and leaves the dying emperor be

The prince in The Little Mermaid having a page’s outfit made for “his little foundling”, besides her silk dresses, so she can go horseback riding in the woods with him

Little Thumbelina sleeping in a polished walnut shell, on a mattress of violets, under a rose petal blanket

Andersen’s fairy tales are full of guilt, cruelty and suffering, and I tend to prefer the retold or abbreviated versions to his originals, but in between the troubles they are so charming

I would like to enquire about Nightingale. I don't think I've seen anything about it

It's a retelling of the fairytale "The Nightingale"! I've written it down very roughly and in the same style as the original tale and am not sure if I should flesh it out or just leave it. But the story elements are lovely and I'd like to put them in somewhere someday.

It's very possible that I have posted the whole thing before but in case I actually do work some more on it, here's the first bit.

Emperor Dream's castle and gardens and lands are the most beautiful there are. When people from other countries visit they always praise the beauty of the woods, the flowers, the city, and the emperor himself. But the most beautiful thing, they all agree on, is if they can hear the Nightingale sing. The emperor hears rumors of this (what he assumes is a) bird and becomes curious. How can something exist that puts all his other treasures and dreams to shame? He demands to see the Nightingale, but it will not come and no one can manage to bring it to him. Finally one day, at sundown, he hears someone sing in his gardens, more beautiful than he has ever heard. He stares out of the window and sees no one. The next evening the mysterious singer can be heard again and Dream sends his guards out to seize whoever is responsible. He watches from his balcony as the guards chase a young man in shabby clothes through the garden. He deftly climbs up the nearest tree and grins at the emperor on his balcony. "Was it you that sang?" Dream asks and the man nods. "Shall I sing for the emperor again?" "I'd like you to come inside and perform for all the court at this evening's festivities." "My singing sounds best out in the open," the man winks at him, "but I will sing for you again if that is your wish." "It is." And the young man sings again and Dream is moved to tears. "Come inside, lovely Nightingale, and I will reward you for your singing with gold and all the finest bounties of my kingdom." But the Nightingale smiles and says, "You have rewarded me enough, for I have seen tears in the eyes of the emperor, and that is the most beautiful gift I can think of."

A Nancy Ekholm Burkert Feathursday

We begin the first #Feathursday of the new year with these illustrations by noted Milwaukee children’s-book illustrator Nancy Ekholm Burkert from Hans Christian Andersen’s story The Nightingale, translated by Eva Le Gallienne and published by Harper & Row in 1965.

The story, originally published in 1843, concerns an emperor of China and his beloved nightingale. When the emperor first encounters the bird, he is surprised that such beautiful notes would come from such a plain bird, but falls in love with the bird and its abilities. Soon, however, the emperor is gifted a bejeweled mechanical nightingale, which displaces the real one and eventually the nightingale is banished from court. A few years later, as the emperor lies dying, the loyal nightingale comes to visit and sing for its old friend. The song is so enchanting that even death stays its hand, the emperor recovers, and the strong bond between emperor and nightingale is restored.

We are humored that Andersen begins his tale by stating the obvious: “In China, you know, the Emperor is Chinese and all his subjects are Chinese too.” Burkert’s usual distinctive, intricate, and detailed style is present here, but this time her illustrations are strongly influenced by her particular fascination with Sung period Chinese painting. The color illustrations are presented in the book as traditional Chinee scroll paintings.

Nancy Ekholm Burkert has won numerous awards for her illustrations, including the Caldecott, New York Times Notable Book, Boston Globe-Horn Book, and Wisconsin Library Association Wisconsin Notable Authors. In addition, the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art featured an exhibit of Burkert's work in 2003. She is a long-time Milwaukee-area resident and her husband Robert Burkert (1930-2019), was a long-time professor of fine arts here at UW-Milwaukee (1956-1993).

@thealmightyemprex @ariel-seagull-wings @themousefromfantasyland @piterelizabethdevries @princesssarisa @grctw there are different kinds of villains out there. You have your cool villains, your tragic villains, your sympathetic villains/antagonists. This list is comprised of villains who get under my skin in a very personal way. I see a pattern here - abusive parents and partners, manipulators whose control can come as much from words and reputation as outward acts of violence. Even the most overtly violent and obviously vile of them are enabled by their stations - the family patriarch, the cog in the imperialist machine, etc.

I don’t know how to properly put into words how I feel about the nightingale. It’s not only an expression of Crowley and Aziraphale’s love for each other but also their love for the world. They love the world so much and love humanity so much that they stood up against a plan millions of years in the making and impossible odds just to save it. Facing down a fight they are sure they cannot win, betraying their very nature just to save this little planet that they’ve come to adore and the life they’ve built with each other. Loving something and someone so much it literally tears apart and rewrites the fabric of reality.

Look — I’m a conservation biologist. I’m also a writer. Both of these are innate to who I am, I couldn’t possibly be anything else. I love the earth more than I think humans are meant to love anything. Sometimes I feel like the pure power of how ferociously I care about this little blue marble is going to burn me up. I know exactly what it’s like to stare into what feels like an insurmountable battle and say, “No. You will not destroy this. I will not let you.” I know what it’s like to be so unwilling to give it up, so unwilling to lie down and admit defeat because you feel the love heavy in your chest, and you somehow know that means it’s not supposed to disappear. Their nightingale gives me hope that if I keep loving as hard as I do, maybe, just maybe, that love will be enough to rewrite our own reality. Just… thank you, @neil-gaiman. Thank you Terry. What a beautiful metaphor you created, all those years ago.
