The story of the death of Cock Robin is familiar and dear to generations of young readers. Not so well-known is the charming tale of the wedding of stalwart Robin and little Jenny Wren.
In this distinguished book Barbara Cooney pictures all the gaiety and mirth of the birds' nuptial feast as well as the sadness and solemnity of Cock Robin's funeral. In a style particularly suited to the old rhyme, Miss Cooney has captured the particular personalities of all the birds—Robin and Jenny, the Sparrow, Tom-Tit, Parson Rook, the "charming Nightingale."
Rarely has this beloved congregation of characters been so truly drawn.
