Description

Originally created as a stage play, Children's Blue Bird is an enchanting and very strange story of a brother and sister who help a little girl whose illness can only be cured by the magical Blue Bird of Happiness. To find the bird, Mytyl and Tyltyl quest through the Land of Memory to the Palace of Night, a frightening place where nothing is as it seems. Can they find what they seek and return in time to help their friend? With help from the good fairy Bérylune, the children may actually succeed.

Author Biography:

Maurice Polydore Marie Bernard Maeterlinck (also called Count Maeterlinck from 1932) was a Belgian playwright, poet, and essayist who was a Fleming but wrote in French. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1911 "in appreciation of his many-sided literary activities, and especially of his dramatic works, which are distinguished by a wealth of imagination and by a poetic fancy, which reveals, sometimes in the guise of a fairy tale, a deep inspiration, while in a mysterious way they appeal to the readers' own feelings and stimulate their imaginations." The main themes in his work are death and the meaning of life. His plays form an important part of the Symbolist movement. His wife, Georgette Leblanc (Madame Maurice Maeterlinck), rendered his play The Blue Bird in story form for children.
