Daydream, Moonbeams And Wings Over The Common
(Louisa Middleton-Blake)
Louisa rescues Maggie, a fledgling Magpie, from two hungry crows whilst
walking her dogs on the common. She takes him home, not believing
that he will last the night.
She recounts Maggies exploits and how he takes over her life, using
stories from her childhood to illustrate the influence he has over her
family and pets. There is a lovely scene where Millie, a black
kitten, teaches Maggie how to hunt for food.
Maggie gives his own version of events and also tells us about his
ancestory, weaving in tales of fairies, Sedna, Neptune, mermaids,
nature and legends. His description of a fairy fairground in
beautifully descriptive.
This is a wonderful book that makes you laugh and takes you on a journey into a magpie's reality.
