The Trumpet of the Swan By E.B. White

The Trumpet of the Swan (full color)


Louise is a trumpeter swan without voice.  When he fell in love with a beautiful swan Serena, how did he tell her he loves him?  How did he get a real trumpet to play a song " beautiful dreamer" to win his sweet heart? Louise is a very special swan. Though he had no voice , he could read , write, play a trumpet, even earn money.

Some Excerpts
" The world  is full of talkers, but it is rare to find anyone who listens. And I assure you that you can pick up more information when you are listening than when you are talking."
" The best was to travel, really, is to travel light."
"Louise is a musician, and musicians can't choose their working hours-they must work when their employer wants them to."
"this feeling of rapture can lead you to your death.  No matter how wonderful you feel down there, don't ever forget to return to the surface, where you can breathe again."
