About this listen
Louis is a trumpeter swan, but he has no voice. Though he is frightened when his father explains to him that he is different from the other cygnets, Louis is resourceful and determined. Leaving his wild and beautiful home, he finds a young human friend, Sam Beaver, who helps him learn to read and write.
When he returns to his lake, Louis discovers his education isn't enough: the beautiful swan he loves, Serena, can't read his declarations of love - and he can't trumpet them.
Louis' resolution to win the swan of his desire launches him on an adventure that will take him far from home and lead where fate and love have a few surprises in store.

A lovely image
What beautiful pictures Mr White invokes with his story, adore also his deep consideration for use of language in the telling of the story and the building of each animal / human character. One can actually ‘see’ the pomposity of the old cob, and his inherent naivety despite all the grandiose speeches! Why use 6 words when 30 will do just as well?
Loved this book as much as Charlotte’s Web. Both books gently narrated by the author who brings added authenticity to each beautifully evolving character. Looking forward to giving these two books to my grandkids… here in Scotland and those living in USA, PA.
