![]() ![]() In a task of three parts, the plucky robin faces not only the hardship of flying through unknown territory with its many dangers, but also the constant threat of Traska, who is trailing Kirrick and determined on murdering the robin. It is only after a near escape from death by magpies that Kirrick is set on the path to the owl Tomar where he begins a quest to unite all the birds against their vicious foe. ![]() These feathered megalomaniacs are bent on destroying all other species of birds, from the smallest sparrow all the way to the great Council of the Owls, the leaders of Birddom. The small birds have been disappearing from the realm under the genocidal leadership of the magpie Slyekin and his murderous lieutenant Traska. It is dark days for the robin Kirrick: not only are all his family and his mate dead, but he fears he is the last robin in all of Birddom. He also gives us a delightful new tale of adventure, loss and joy. In One for Sorrow, Two for Joy, Clive Woodall gives us the realm of Birddom, a country of birds within England which is suffering from tyrannical oppression that could lead to the end of all the birds. And some of these are not even human faces, as in the stories of Aesop or the adventures of the rabbits in Watership Down.
