Jewel of the Brook: The Kingfisher's Tale - Softcover

The surface smashes, droplets fly. The pond is shaken and the tiny fish is taken from his world without the blinking of an eye. The moorhen starts, the heron cranes his neck around to look, but they only hear the whistling of the Jewel of the Brook..." David Freedman's epic tale of the trials of life of one of our most treasured birds is beautifully illuminated by the stunning artwork of Mike Kelly, creating a timeless tale for nature lovers of all ages to enjoy. David and Mike are both keen observers of British wildlife, spending many happy hours staring into ponds and watching the skies. Their first book Stunt Crow is an aeronautical adventure following the antics of a brave crow. Jewel of the Brook is a lavishly illustrated insight into the precarious life of one of our favourite birds.
