The Firebird
From the timeless classic ballet of Stravinsky. This beautifully die-cut textured paper brings the story to life in a magical way.
Prince Ivan, lost in a forest on the border of his kingdom, sees and catches the beautiful Firebird. In exchange for its freedom, the Firebird offers one of its feathers to the Prince:If you need help, throw it to at the sky and I will fly to your rescue.
