Swan Summer - Paperback

by Sally Jones (Author)

A true and touching story about some children, who befriend a family of swans, on the River Thames. They watch an adorable cygnet hatch and grow, calling him Skedadally, because he waddles over and eats crumbs from their hand. As the months pass, they come to realise that life on the river is no picnic. There are many dangers facing young birds. It is not long before they have to save their feathered friend from terrible danger. They are more than thankful for the work of the nearby Swan Sanctuary.
