Descrizione
Based on the much-loved Igor Stravinsky ballet. Illustrated with oil paintings by Kris Waldherr.
Attracted by a blazing light, Prince Ivan enters a mysterious garden. There he finds a magnificent creature flitting from branch to branch—the Firebird. When he ensnares her, he is dismayed to see her brilliant plumage begin to fade. Quickly the prince releases her, and she in return gives him a magical feather to aid him in times of danger. Soon Ivan meets the beauteous Princess Elena, held prisoner by a malevolent wizard.
Will the Firebird’s gift help the prince and princess escape? Or will they be destroyed in their quest? Robert San Souci’s impassioned retelling will hold readers spellbound, as Kris Waldherr’s resplendent paintings bring the unforgettable characters and exotic settings to life.
