The Crowstarver
by Dick King-Smith
Set in pre-World War II Britain, this is the poignant tale of an abandoned baby, adopted by a childless farming couple. As ‘Spider’ grows up, it becomes apparent that despite his physical and learning disabilities, he has a remarkable gift for communicating with animals.
Written with sensitivity and tenderness, this is a thought-provoking read.
