Description
Wood Magic tells the story of Bevis when he is a small boy and his entry into the wild animal kingdom that is centered on his father's farm. A kingdom of which the one-eyed magpie Kapchak is king and which is under siege, attacked from without by the barbarian hordes of the Emperor Choo Hoo, the wood pigeon, and undermined from within by the treachery and double-dealing of the hawk, the crow, and the weasel. Although the animals speak, they speak and act in character, hawk strikes down thrush, thrush eats snail, weasel kills mouse. It is an enchanting story of great vigour and understanding.Richard Jefferies (1848-1887) was one of the most perceptive and poetic writers about the English countryside. He wrote two children's stories, Wood Magic (1881) and Bevis (1882), both about the same boy. Both stories mirror Jefferies' own boyhood and both are mercifully free of the sentimentality that so often disfigures books about the country.
