Margaret Wild's books are often set in a gloomy setting and she often humanises objects in her own way.
This book was very meaningful. It was about a feather that two children found. They took the "happy" feather to a dull and gloomy town and the town folk liked it and wanted to preserve it BUT the feather was scared and didn't want to be held in captivity.
The once happy feather then transforms into a dark and dingy feather and the humans/town folk no longer want it so the children take it back to their home.
They free the feather and watch it soar as it becomes happy again.
I highly recommend this book to older children aged 12 years and over.Show moreShow less
