-- Remarkable, unusual illustrations
Each day the gypsy walks with the sea on his right and the mountains on his left, and each night he rests and plays his lute. Four beautiful animals -- the lion, the grey Ibis, the scorpion and the viper snake hide in the shadows and listen to him play. One morning he doesn't wake up -- how can the animals save the life of the gypsy whose music they love? Ages 5-9.
