That rare case when the tale by the great H.C. Andersen has ahappy ending. The Wild Swans considered being one of Andersen's most touching tales.
This is a tale about love and hate, loyalty, and betrayal, hope and utter despair.
Nothing can weaken the love of the young princess and the brothers.
The stepmother hates her husband's children for no reason, and to punish them she takes the voice from the princess and transforms the boys into swans.
This tale teaches that love, devotion, and faith can work wonders and overcome any evil.
