This is the story of the 'Swedish Nightingale', Jenny Lind, whose remarkable voice is the legend in all the great opera houses in the world. Elisabeth Kyle writes vivdly of Jenny's early unhappy childhood and her joy at becoming a 'child of the Royal Opera School' in Stockholm.

The story of Jenny's simple dedication to her art, her love of Sweden and her friendship with the French-born Queen of Sweden, Disiree, and with the famous story-teller, Hans Christian Andersen, makes this one of the most memorable books Elisbeth Kyle has written.
