Readers of previous books by this author have realised that he approaches the popular theme of Australian bird and animal lore from an angle never before attempted by a writer of Juvenile books---sheer entertainment deftly combined with authenticity of detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe birds do not talk, but they LIVE. \"Maggie the Magnificent\" is an exceedingly well-written story of Australia's most popular black and white bird, the magpie. Though Maggie himself is the chief character and his life and adventures are portrayed faithfully, we meet a number of humans who are drawn so naturally that they might be your next door neighbours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is real human interest as well as bird interest in \"Maggie.\" The episodes range from grave to happy, many being of such laughter-provoking quality as to go down in juvenile fiction history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThough designed primarily for the child mind, adults will appreciate the story as a rich page torn from the diary of their grandparent's childhood. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Kenneth Thompson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0648035697\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780648035695\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Living Book Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/23\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.00h x 5.00w x 0.26d","brand":"Charles Kenneth Thompson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443603091711,"sku":"9780648035695","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9c647a9c-7ecb-491c-8387-d1408f9b0fa7.jpg?v=1777206557","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/maggie-the-magnificent-charles-kenneth-thompson-9780648035695","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
