Swans of the Gods

The Golden Swan of the title is an emissary of the gods, as they intervene in mortal lives in this tale, inspired by the ancient Sanskrit peom, The Mahabharata. Beautifully illustrated. This swan symbolism will find its way into my book, How to Raise Poultry, to follow How To Raise Chickens: Everything You Need To Know (How to Raise...) in Spring 2009.
