Catalogue synopsis

Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:

"Good Night (Buenas Noches)" by Eleanor Gates is a children's story illustrated by Arthur Rackham, likely written in the early 20th century. The book captures the lively interactions between various fowl, primarily focusing on a mischievous parrot named Loretta and her relationship with Padre Alonzo and a canary named Tony. The narrative intertwines themes of companionship, mischief, and the warmth of community life. The story unfolds in a vibrant garden setting, where Loretta the parrot causes trouble by plucking flowers and vying for attention from Tony, the canary. Padre Alonzo, a kind-hearted priest, often intervenes to protect Loretta from the strict Padre Anzar, who views her antics as disruptive. Throughout the book, the tale delves into the dynamics of life in the garden, illustrating the antics of the birds as they interact with each other and the priests who take care of them. Eventually, Loretta's mischief leads her into trouble with a cat named Tomasso, but her bravery and spirited nature shine through in her attempts to protect her friend Tony. The story concludes with a message of love and understanding, encapsulated in the tender relationship between the characters.
