The Trumpet of the Swan

The delightful classic by E. B. White, author
of Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little, about
overcoming obstacles and the joy of music.


Like the rest of his family, Louis is a
trumpeter swan. But unlike his four brothers and sisters, Louis can't trumpet
joyfully. In fact, he can't even make a sound. And since he can't trumpet his
love, the beautiful swan Serena pays absolutely no attention to him.


Louis tries everything he can think of to win
Serena's affection—he even goes to school to learn to read and write. But
nothing seems to work. Then his father steals him a real brass trumpet. Is a
musical instrument the key to winning Louis his love?
