The Emperor and the Nightingale

Description

An elegant retelling of Hans Christian's Anderson's famous tale, perfect for young readers. Have you ever heard the song of a nightingale? The Emperor hadn't - but when he did, he became so entranced he just had to try to capture it for himself. But maybe trying to own a piece of nature for yourself isn't the best idea? Readers of all ages will get lost in this heartbreaking but ultimately heartwarming story, which comes with free online audio.
