Sources-The Wild Swans

The Wild Swans from Andersen’s Fairy Tales by Hans Christian Andersen

This is one of the stories in . Andersen was a prolific Danish author born in the early 19^th century. He gained lasting fame from his fairy tales intended for children (his first volume of fairy tales was published in 1835) although some were based on traditional tales, many were original or only loosely based on the source material. Like the works of the brothers Grimm, Andersens tales are often retold and abridged so make sure you get a complete translation. Here are a few examples (not comprehensive) of where it can be sourced, I have tried to link directly to the relevant web page on the site where possible.
