When Frieda Hughes moved to the depths of the Welsh countryside, she was expecting to take on a few projects: planting a garden, painting, writing her poetry column for The Times (London), and possibly even breathing new life into her ailing marriage. But instead, she found herself rescuing a baby magpie, the sole survivor of a nest destroyed in a storm--and embarking on an obsession that would change the course of her life. As the magpie, George, grows from a shrieking scrap of feathers and bones into an intelligent, unruly companion, Frieda finds herself captivated--and apprehensive of what will happen when the time comes to finally set him free. With irresistible humor and heart, Frieda invites us along on her unlikely journey toward joy and connection in the wake of sadness and loss; a journey that began with saving a tiny wild creature and ended with her being saved in return."--Publisher's description. 600 10 $a Hughes, Frieda. 650 0 $a Magpies. 650 0 $a Human-animal relationships. 650 0 $a Wildlife rescue $z Wales. 600 10 $a Hughes, Frieda $x Homes and haunts $z Wales. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft. 941 $a 9 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509012609.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314025728.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20240302013446.0 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20231228013846.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20231227014731.0 952 $l WKPE185 $d 20230812011207.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20230802012834.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230706010622.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230701010130.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8F9E101817D411EEB984481F40ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
