Description
On May 27th 1784 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart met a flirtatious little starling who sang (an improved version of!) the theme from his Piano Concerto Number 17 in G to him. Knowing a kindred spirit when he met one Mozart wrote "That was wonderful" in his journal and took the bird home to be his pet. For three years Mozart and his family enjoyed the uniquely delightful company of the starling until one April morning when the bird passed away.
In 2013 Lyanda Lynn Haupt author of Crow Planet rescued her own starling Carmen who has become a part of her family. In Mozart's Starling Haupt explores the unlikely bond between one of history's most controversial characters and one of history's most notoriously disliked birds. Part natural history part story Mozart's Starling will delight readers as they learn about language music and the secret world of starlings.
