Once upon a time there was a king. He was called the Moon King and was soon to become a father. Planning a gift for his first-born, he knew that gems and jewels were not enough. He wanted the most splendid present for his daughter. His gift to her would be the legendary Starbird, of whose song wove beautiful dreams, wonder and happiness.

He soon sets off to capture Starbird, not realising the unhappiness it will bring.

An original fable about love, freedom and kindness of others, the illustrations are nothing short of exquisite. Almost every page contains silver foil artwork, whether it be Starbird himself or the beautiful fauna and wildlife around him.

Starbird flees the Moon King, travelling the world. Look closer into each picture to discover even more. 

Stunning!
