Louis is a Trumpeter Swan who came into the world lacking a voice. When his father explained to him that he was different from other cygnets, Louis felt scared. His father, however, promised to help. Sam Beaver, a boy who loved all wild things, took Louis to school, where he learned to read and write. This was a help, but it did not solve his major problem: he was in love with the beautiful swan, Serena, and she spurned him because he was de-fective. And that was when Louis's father, the old cob, did a difficult thing-he put honor aside and stole a trumpet so his son would be able to woo his love. Louis's determination to become a trumpeter and pay off his father's debt takes him far from the wilderness he loves. But he succeeds and wins the swan of his desir-ing. E. B. White's wonderful story of Louis's struggles to express the music in his heart-with Edward Frascino's beautiful wash drawings-is a paean to courage, to freedom, to love-and to swans everywhere.
