The nightingale / Andersen, H. C

Despite being neglected by the emperor for a jewel-studded bird, the little nightingale revives the dying ruler with its beautiful songs.

"In China , you know, the Emperor is Chinese, and all his subjects are Chinese too." . . . And in his beautiful porcelain palace, his most precious treasure was a nightingale who sang in a "sweet, ravishing voice." This unforgettable tale is translated here by a great actress who loves these stories and is designed and illustrated in Chinese style to make a beautiful book.
