Please don't expect that this book is all about
birds - it's just that they make the best pictures! The novel is about
life in the valley, the waterwheel that still make the only electricity,
the holiday visitors and their antics, what makes a fish rise, why should
someone suddenly want a small onion, who screamed when the showers went
cold - and what little lad turned the gas off? This and much more
mischief, a little romance (a bit cheeky in places),
some danger, an awkward customer and a brew labelled Felis Leo, and lots
more about tents and caravans - and Arthur, of course - these
just as much as the birds, are the things that make up the story.
