A poetic and bittersweet tale of youthful obsession and loss, The Dryad follows a solitary young man who becomes enchanted by a strange, ethereal girl living in the forest. Her otherworldly nature and innocence suggest she may be more than human, as their relationship deepens into something both magical and tragic. Against a backdrop of Victorian societal constraint and romantic idealism, the story explores the fragility of imagination, purity, and desire in a world quick to dismiss them.

Here we are in Paris, where we will visit the exhibition. On the square next to our hotel, we are planting a tree that will shelter a dryad. This dryad, when its tree lived in the forest, could only think of Paris, the city that lit up the clouds at night. With the arrival of the chestnut tree in Paris, its greatest dream came true. But will this dream lead to its downfall? Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was a Danish author, poet and artist. Celebrated for children’s literature, his most cherished fairy tales include "The Emperor's New Clothes", "The Little Mermaid", "The Nightingale", "The Steadfast Tin Soldier", "The Snow Queen", "The Ugly Duckling" and "The Little Match Girl". His books have been translated into every living language, and today there is no child or adult that has not met Andersen's whimsical characters. His fairy tales have been adapted to stage and screen countless times, most notably by Disney with the animated films "The Little Mermaid" in 1989 and "Frozen", which is loosely based on "The Snow Queen", in 2013. Thanks to Andersen's contribution to children's literature, his birth date, April 2, is celebrated as International Children's Book Day.
