Royal octavo 25cm/10inches full fancy gilt-embossed Agean-blue cloth sans dust jacket pp. xvi 211 .t.e.g. Illustrated with frontis and twenty-five tipped-on colour plates by F. Cayley Robinson. Please feel free to ask for particulars and/or additional photographs. . The Blue Bird is a 1908 play by Belgian playwright and poet Maurice Maeterlinck. It premiered on 30 September 1908 at Konstantin Stanislavski's Moscow Art Theatre and was presented on Broadway in 1910. The play has been adapted for several films and a TV series. The French composer Albert Wolff wrote an opera first performed at the New York Metropolitan Opera in 1919 based on Maeterlinck's original play and Maeterlinck's inamorata Georgette Leblanc produced a novelization. The story is about a girl called Mytyl and her brother Tyltyl seeking happiness represented by The Blue Bird of Happiness aided by the good fairy Bérylune. . Maeterlinck was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1911 "in appreciation of his many-sided literary activities and especially of his dramatic works which are distinguished by a wealth of imagination and by a poetic fancy which reveals sometimes in the guise of a fairy tale a deep inspiration while in a mysterious way they appeal to the readers' own feelings and stimulate their imaginations" <br/><br/> Dood, Mead & Company hardcover‎
