Honor

Louis the swan cannot speak like “normal” swans (note that the book comes from before the time of political correctness, and it shows). He uses his disability to his advantage, traveling outside the scope of the typical swan’s realm and having many adventures and opportunities as a result.
This engaging tale uses humor (I find the old cob’s mannerisms quite amusing) to tell the story of a “misfit” successfully making his own way. It is refreshing to see character and good intentions throughout the story.
