Enter the magical world of Richard Wagner's legendary operas through this enchanting collection of stories specially retold for younger readers. Stories from Wagner Told to the Children transforms some of the greatest musical dramas ever composed into vivid and accessible tales filled with romance, mystery, courage, and adventure.
Within these pages, readers will encounter the haunting legend of The Flying Dutchman, the noble knight of Lohengrin, and the charming world of The Mastersingers of Nuremberg. Drawing upon Wagner's rich blend of medieval legend, folklore, and heroism, Smith presents these timeless stories in a clear and engaging style that makes them enjoyable for both children and adults.
Long before modern fantasy literature became popular, Wagner's operas brought to life enchanted swans, wandering sailors cursed by fate, noble quests, and unforgettable acts of loyalty and sacrifice.
