Summary
Though the Emperor of China banishes the nightingale in preference of a jeweled mechanical imitation, the little bird remains faithful and returns years later when the emperor is near death and no one else can help him. Reprint.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: "This exquisitely designed and illustrated retelling is a lush interpretation
of Andersen's tale." â THE HORN BOOK
A National Council of Teachers of English
Notable Children's Book in the Language Arts
"Elaborate, harmonious watercolors pay homage to the flat style of Chinese brush paintings with iconic fidelity. . . . Mitchell's language is light and melodic." â PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (starred review)
"Mitchell's version stays close to the original, with an added punch of satire. . . . Even if there are already several editions of the story on the shelf, consider this for its fresh, lively language and for Ibatoulline's stunning paintings." â BOOKLIST
