Bumble (a bee) is having difficulty flying. The Flight of the Bumblebee music has been incorporated into the story as Bumble learns to fly to the sound of the music. This book is beautifully illustrated by the very talented Mini Goss. Included at the end of a book is a short biography on the composer Rimsky-Korsakov and the opera the music (Flight of the Bumblebee) is taken from- The Tale of Tsar Saltan. The book comes with an audio CD read by Antonia Kidman. Both the story and the music will be included on the CD.
Conductor Sir Charles Mackerras has written a testimonial for the Music Box series which is on the back of Flight of the Bumblebee.
