This fairy tale, first published in 1843 in a collection called New Fairy Tales, has remained popular over the centuries. This lesson will take a look at some of the meaning found in the story and some key themes. The plot of the story is about a Chinese emperor who rejected a live nightingale for the fake song of a mechanical bird. As Death comes to claim the old emperor at the end of the tale, the real nightingale returns to sing for him. Death is so charmed by the lovely music that he spares the life of the dying man. http://www.andersen.sdu.dk/vaerk/hersholt/TheNightingale_e.html
