"In a far-away land, where the swallows fly to when we have winter, there once reigned a king with eleven sons and one daughter named Elisa."

Thus begins what is perhaps the most romantic fairy tale from the quill of Hans Christian Andersen. Full of courage and devotion, Elisa chooses to take the perilous fate upon herself of releasing her brothers from the spell that has turned them into wild swans, and in return gains the love of the prince and an entire kingdom.

The artist Germano Ovani has created beautiful images full of symbolism and expressiveness to help visualise this story.
