About this book
A student longs for a red rose to win a dance with the professor’s daughter—but winter has left his garden bare. Hearing his sorrow, a nightingale believes in true love and gives her life to stain a white rose crimson with her heart’s blood. At dawn the rose is perfect, yet the girl prefers jewels and the student throws the flower away. A luminous, tragic fable about sacrifice, vanity, and the price of sentiment.
