Lisbeth Zwerger, winner of the 1990 Hans Christian Andersen Medal, brings her distinctive talent to this classic Andersen fairy tale of a foolish Prince who seeks to marry the Emperor�s daughter, and the even more foolish Princess who fails to recognize his true worth. When the Princess refuses him, he disguises himself as a swineherd and plays her favorite songs. By the time she warms up to him it�s too late; he reveals his true identity and leaves her all alone. It�s a delightfully silly tale of human nature, brought wonderfully to life by the incomparable Ms. Zwerger.
