Coppélia (The Rogue Swan Adventure Series)

"Once upon a time there was an old man named Dr. Coppélius. He was a dollmaker and an alchemist. He made fancy dolls. He had a special doll named Coppélia. She looked like a beautiful, life-like girl. He put Coppélia in the window facing out on the town square. She looked like she was reading a book." Coppélia is the story of a German dollmaker and alchemist, Dr. Coppélius, who fools his village into thinking that his greatest creation, a life-like doll, has actually comes to life! Misunderstanding follows as a young Swanilda finds her betrothed, Franz, more interested in the new "girl" rather than his true love. In the end Franz learns a valuable lesson about gratitude and appreciation and Dr. Coppelius must decide what is most important to him...dabbling in magic and potions or using his skills as a dollmaker! The Rogue Swan Adventure Series is a series of children's books based on classical ballet fairytales and adapted and illustrated by immigrant kids. Our books contain original text and illustrations from our wonderfully talented child artists. Our books are complete with a glossary, history of the ballet, and helpful reading comprehension questions. Great for all stages and ages of reading. The Adventures of a Rogue Swan is an outreach project that uses ballet to help children learn and grow. Check out https://theadventuresofa.wixsite.com/rogueswan for more info. All proceeds from book sales go to supporting this project.
