This book is considered to be the title that sealed the deal for Maurice Maeterlinck winning the Nobel Prize for literature, in 1911. And this title being his most popular, and the basis for six different film adaptations, on the centennial of The Blue Bird's publication, a blue bird motif was used on a Belgian 50 Euro coin commemorating the Nobel laureate, Maurice Maeterlinck.
