Blue bird. Meterlink M.

The most mysterious, Christmas night descended over the spicy roofs of houses. Tiltil and Mitil’s little brother and sister, the Beriluna Fairy comes, and sends the children in search of a blue bird, which helps to find happiness. The fairy gives children a wonderful gift with which they can see the souls of things. Fire, water, bread, sugar, a cat and a dog are transformed into living people with their character and inner world. In this company, children go in search. They are looking for a blue bird everywhere - in the country of memories, in the possessions of the night, in the garden of joys, in the blue palace of the kingdom of the future. In their wanderings, children get acquainted with great joys, the soul of the world, the old man...

Can children find a blue bird? Will they be able to help a little girl to recover? Read and find out.
