" Marsh King's Daughter " is a literary fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen. The tale was first published December 1858 in Copenhagen, Denmark. An Egyptian princess falls into the evil power of the Marsh King. A child is born to her and is taken to be raised by a Viking woman. Beautiful but with a terrible character, Helga is transformed into a kind frog at night. When the girl becomes a young woman, she meets a Christian slave who preaches mercy and compassion. Changed by this encounter, Helga finds her true mother and travels with her back to Egypt. The story ends on a memorable note when Helga discovers herself in the future, and majestically changes into a swan. This children's e-book is fully illustrated all-color (more than 30 color illustrations). Young readers will love the charming all-color illustrations, while parents will appreciate the moral at the end of the story. The beautiful illustrations will captivate your child's imagination and bring them back to read it over again and again.
