Graceful and full of rich humor, Stephen Mitchells retelling of Hans Christian Andersens THE NIGHTINGALE is paired with impeccably researched, astonishingly beautiful paintings by Bagram Ibatoulline.The Emperor of China lives in the most marvelous palace in the world, made entirely of porcelain, and his garden is full of the rarest flowers. But loveliest of all - so say visitors to his realm - is the song of the nightingale in the forest by the sea. Though his bustling courtiers cant find her, a clever kitchen maid can, and the nightingale soon enchants the Emperor with her song. But will the gift of a bejeweled bird with a mechanical tune replace the humble nightingale in his heart?Warmly and accessibly retold by master translator Stephen Mitchell,this definitive edition features breathtakingly intricate artwork by Bagram Ibatoulline, illustrator of CROSSING.
