The Blue Bird, symbol of happiness or truth, is a rare and precious thing, very difficult to find. It is, perhaps, enough to seek it.
The children, Tyltyl and Mytyl having gone to bed, are visited by the Fairy Berylune , who tells them that she is anxious to find the Blue Bird so that she may give it to her sick child. She says she would like them to help her to find it and gives Tyltyl a magic diamond by means of which he is able to bring all things to life and provide them with souls. Light comes from the lamp; and Fire, Water, Milk, Sugar and Bread, and even the Dog and Cat, all come from their accustomed places. With Light as guide, they go on their quest, first to the Land of Memory, then to the Palace of Night, the Palace of Happiness, a Graveyard, the Kingdom of the Future, and at last, after many adventures, home again.
