Produced by Juliet Sutherland, Jen Haines and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Blue Bird for Children" by Georgette Leblanc and Maurice Maeterlinck is a children's story based on a play written in the early 20th century. The narrative follows two peasant children, Tyltyl and Mytyl, who embark on a magical quest to find the elusive Blue Bird, a symbol of happiness, to help a fairy's sick child. The journey leads them through enchanted lands filled with various personified characters, including natural elements and whimsical creatures, each representing different aspects of life and emotion. At the start of the tale, we are introduced to Tyltyl and Mytyl, who live a modest life filled with love but lacking material wealth. On Christmas Eve, they are visited by a mysterious fairy who requests their help in finding the Blue Bird, essential for bringing happiness to her ailing daughter. The children, filled with innocence and curiosity, eagerly agree and are soon led by the fairy into a surreal world where they meet talking objects and creatures that engage them in profound and whimsical adventures. The opening sets a tone of wonder and exploration as they prepare to leave their familiar world for the unknown in search of true happiness. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
