Produktbeschreibung
This is the story of six characters, all birds. What begins as a quirky woodland tale evolves into a challenge to the mismanagement of the environment by humans, and their abuse of power over all other species. There's banter between the birds, information about the natural world, there's serious debate and there's satire. It's fun and it's thought-provoking. The title refers to the fact that Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) immortalised the otherwise extinct dodo in 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'. The dodo was yesterday's bird, but what will be the fate of tomorrow's birds, of tomorrow's humans and of our fragile, suffering planet?The hero of 'Dodgson's Dodo' is a feisty rook, Rachel, who plays a smart role in this fascinating, imaginative and beautifully realised story. All the birds are real characters, and everyone reading it will be both entertained and better informed. It's witty and memorable, but above all it's topical and relevant. Its message is urgent. "e;It should be prescribed reading for high school Biology students."e; Anne Kendall - retired high school science teacher.
