About this book
A robin with a fine opinion of himself keeps finding reasons to wander farther from his garden home. While Mrs. Robin tends five eggs beside the stable, he investigates a kitchen, visits mice in a windmill and pokes into a vole's affairs. His confidence repeatedly exceeds his understanding, and a fierce East Country wind soon carries him to unfamiliar marshland.
May Byron gives the birds and animals distinct voices, turning the reed beds and waterways into a neighborhood of busy, impatient and sometimes dangerous inhabitants. Robin meets a singing sedge warbler, an irritable snipe and a grebe gathering material for a floating nest. A watchful weasel adds tension to his discoveries. For children who enjoy animal tales, the appeal lies in the contrast between Robin's boastful manners and the practical demands of life around him, with quick conversations and sudden scrapes keeping the story moving.
