An imaginative, poetic, and often amusing story, written with great skill.
Inspired by the real-life artistry of 19th-century Vermont crafters, this charmingly illustrated 1950 Newbery Honor winner continues to captivate young dreamers..
The river\'s song declares that riches and power will fade, while the beauty of handmade crafts endures, and the Blue cat must find a mortal who will not only listen to the song but also sing it.
But now a dark spell is enveloping Castle Town, brewing an obsession with gold and possessions.
This is the story of the Blue cat sent by the river to restore the days of Bright Enchantment, when there was beauty and peace and contentment in people\'s hearts.
Only a Blue cat can do that, one who sings and believes in the song.
Occasionally there have been men and women who were born knowing the song, but mortals cannot teach it to each other.
And that little cat knows how to hear the song of the river -- the ancient song of creation, as old as the world itself. -- Kirkus Reviews Once in a Blue moon, a Blue kitten is born.
