The Crow's Nest

by Ruth Manning-Sanders

A surprising chain of events - a picnic, a meeting with a crow called Charlie and the theft of a precious penknife - results in Meg and Jock being led down underground passages, being threatened by golden eagles, and finding something of real value in the unlikeliest of places.

About the author

Ruth Manning-Sanders, youngest daughter of an English minister, describes her childhood as “extraordinarily happy. . . with kind and understanding parents and any amount of freedom.” She read omnivorously, and she and her two sisters wrote and acted their own plays. A Shakespeare scholar at Manchester University, she later married Cornish artist George Manning-Sanders. They began married life in a horse drawn caravan, and traveled to all parts of the British Isles.
Mrs. Manning-Sanders has collected folk and fairy stories from around the world and she published more than 90 books during her lifetime.
