"The old street lamp" is a beautiful tale about leaving behind a whole life (hopefully) well lived. It can be interpreted in various ways: it could be about retirement, death, our place in our family.

“The Two Brothers“ is a little tale to honour two important Danish personalities, Anders Sandoe Oersted and Hans Christian Oersted, who were brothers.
But I also see in this tale that there is more than one path to find the so-called “truth“ of the world. One can see the truth in many different ways. Some, like these two men, even devote their lives to it.

“The Wicked Prince“ reminds us that even greed has its limits and that, sometimes, the best weapons are the simplest ones. However, this tale can also be interpreted as a warning against colonialism and capitalism, since our world is so firmly built upon greed. Perhaps we should take care not to end up like the Prince of the story...

The Loveliest Rose in the World has a very disappointing ending so I ended up also discussing the rose in “The Little Prince“. And it got me thinking: if you were dying, what would be the rose in your life that could save you? Would it be just one? Or have you tended to a whole garden of flowers, each unique in its own way?

We start with a well-known timeless classic, “The Ugly Duckling“, where a swan's egg is hatched by a duck and the baby swan is then thought to be a very ugly duckling. It's a tale about how one's value can shift depending on the context and who we have around us.

Inspired by @TheBookHippie and her daily #CHILDRENSCLASSICREAD2024 I'm starting my own version: I read a tale from“The Complete Illustrated Works of Hans Christian Andersen“ every day. This has given me the motivation I needed to finally read through this monster of a book!And, to get back into the habit of writing again, I'm writing about each tale on my blog (link in bio). Feel free to join in with your favorite tales and the hashtag #ATaleADay
