The Emperor and the Nightingale

Dickens, Rosie

The nightingale is a little brown bird with a beautiful song. The Emperor of China loves listening to her – until he is sent a clockwork bird, glittering with gold and jewels.

Dazzled, the Emperor forgets all about the little brown bird… what will become of her?
