The Emperor and the Nightingale

Average rating
4 out of 5
Based on 431 Ratings and 32 Reviews

Book Description
A nightingale sings so sweetly for the emperor of China that it becomes the darling of the court. But when the emperor receives a mechanical nightingale that can sing one tune again and again, he judges the clockwork bird better than the original--realizing too late what a real treasure he once had. Music by Academy Award-winning composer Mark Isham. Full color.
