THE TRUMPET OF THE SWAN is an uplifting story by E. B. White,
author of CHARLOTTE'S WEB in which wildlife and nature blend with
fantasy to make a tender, humorous and unforgettable animal tale.
Unlike other cygnets, Louis, the trumpeter swan, cannot utter a
sound. But with the encouragement of his father, Louis sets out to
overcome his problem. One way of doing this Louis decides, is to
learn to read and write and so he sets off to Montana to find his
friend Sam Beaver. Louis goes to school with him and learns to read
and write, but when he returns to the lakes and falls in love with
the beautiful Serena, he is upset that Serena can't read his sign,
which says 'I love you'. Once again his parents are determined to
help him find a new way of expressing himself and it is his father
who dreams up the brilliant solution that will put Louis firmly on
the path to success and fulfilment. E. B. White was born in the
USA. He travelled about trying all sorts of jobs before he joined
the New Yorker magazine and became a writer. In 1970 he was awarded
the prestigious Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal for Stuart Little and
Charlotte's Web and in honour of his outstanding contribution to
children's literature. E. B. White died in 1985. Also by E. B.
