About this book

Two reed-warblers meet in Italy and fly together to a pond they both remember. Among its reeds they build a nest, where the female lays eggs while their neighbours prepare for young of their own. Carl Ewald gives the pond's creatures voices and opinions, turning natural history into a children's story filled with conversations about food, family and the business of staying alive.

The pond's residents are quick to judge one another. A well-travelled eel questions the warblers' manners, while a carp recalls the comfort of a carefully managed pond. Their polite speeches sit beside the practical need to catch and eat other creatures. These exchanges give the story a dry humour and make its small patch of water a place to observe both animal habits and familiar human pretensions.
