Birds live in their own secret world.
Birds are beautiful little creatures that have the gift of flight – they look down upon us from the trees, rooftops, the church spire and the weather vane, before deciding whose garden to visit this day. They have a marvellous navigational aid allowing them to migrate and then return. They have a short life span. The sparrow’s for one, so ordinary with its mousy feathers, is only 10 months.
This then, is the raison d'être for writing this book.
Raymond Holder has always had a life-long passion for books. His childhood was enriched by Enid Blyton through The Secret Seven and Famous Five and the Rev. Awdry through The Railway Series of Thomas, Henry, Gordon and James. Here, then, is the inspiration for the ten garden birds. Raymond has made them human in the same way that the Rev. Awdry humanised his railway engines. They were a pleasure to put together.
