Constantine

Nancy Rogers Yaeger

Illustrated by Bill Grace

Once, on a small, beautiful island in the Caribbean Sea, there was a place called Monkey Hill. At the bottom of the hill a footpath led through the tall grass to an old man’s house. Yet no one ever came to visit and he lived quite alone. One morning, when the clouds and sun were playing hide and seek, the cherry tree in the garden shuddered. Now, when the cherries were ripe, birds from all across the island came to feast on them. But in all his years, the tree had never trembled like this before. The arrival of this charming and highly unexpected visitor - with his fantastic rainbow coloured beak - is, of course, just the beginning of our adventures with Constantine the Toucan.
