About this book

Spring arrives at Greenlawn through a lively argument between the sun and the lingering mist. In the garden below, thrushes, blackbirds, robins and starlings bustle about finding food, choosing nesting places and starting families. George Manville Fenn gives these birds distinct voices and human habits, turning everyday garden activity into a comic neighbourhood story. When eggs disappear from a thrush's nest, accusations cause a stir among the other residents.

The pond extends this little society into a richly described world of fish, insects, reeds and water flowers. Birds come to drink, bathe, hunt and gossip, while disagreements reveal their pride and impatience. Intended for children, Featherland combines talking animals with close attention to natural surroundings and questions of kindness and conduct. Readers can enjoy its playful conversations alongside the changing sights of a garden, where small quarrels and ordinary routines become events worth watching.
