Blockhead-Hans

Blockhead Hans is a literary fairy tale written by Hans Christian Andersen, and it is included in Andrew Lang's The Yellow Fairy Book. An old squire had three sons. Two of them were smart, eloquent and wanted to conquer a princess's heart, who admired silvertongued men the most. His third son was called Blockhead-Hans, for being of a quite lesser mind. But he wanted to marry the princess just as much as his brothers. So, three of them rode for one princess to the King's Hall.
