The Crowstarver Paperback / softback

Part of the A Puffin Book series

Paperback / softback

Description

'This book demonstrates everything that is good about writing for children.

It is a book of love, trust and wonder thoroughly recommended to adults and young people alike' - Carousel Bestselling author Dick King-Smith creates a fascinating picture of rural life at the time of the Second World War. Discovered as a foundling in a lambing pen, Spider Sparrow grows up surrounded by animals.

From sheep and horses to wild otters and foxes, Spider loves them all, even the crows he must scare away from the newly sown wheat.

Crowstarving is the ideal job for Spider - he is on his own, yet never alone for all around him are animals of one sort or another.

Amazingly, every animal who meets Spider implicitly trusts the young boy.

This magical rapport is Spider's unique gift, but nothing else in his tough life is so easy.
