Freckles and Friends: true stories of garden wildlife

By Amanda Davey

Freckles was a newly fledged robin who chose to learn how to sing by sitting in a very small oak tree above an ancient cat who could no longer hunt but really didn't like other cats coming near. His song was remarkable and yet on the edge of sound. Other stories include a naughty squirrel called Atlas, some wrens who nested in a roofspace, frogs who preferred newspaper to lily leaves and a clockwork lobster in a moth trap. All stories are true, why would you ever need to make them up!
