The Adventures of Paul Sparrow Constance Haughton

Paul is an endearing baby sparrow. He is not as strong as his brothers and sisters, so struggles to survive away from the safety of his mother's nest. Luckily for Paul he meets Maggie Mouse, who becomes a trusted and loyal friend. There follows a series of adventures, and many interesting and comic characters emerge, such as Brownie Big Toe, Doctor Knowalott and Sylvia Swan. The origins of this story go back to the 1950's, and contain non-fictional characters also. The children Sheenagh and Mary Rose are the author's children, and Ginger Odd Eyes was the family cat. The book's delightful illustrations have been provided by three of the author's grandchildren.
