Malcolm Saville — Spring Comes To Nettleford
Armada 1964 Paperback, 159pp. Spring has come to Nettleford, and the Owlers are infected by the urge to explore. And what a glorious discovery they make - a Secret Kingdom of crystal-clear streams, sandy beaches and mysterious islands for their very own! But is it? Footprints, then figures glimpsed through the trees persuade them that their paradise has been invaded - and their invaders are after the rarest of bird's eggs - the peregrine falcon's. The Owlers are determined to catch them, so they set up camp in the Secret Kindgdom and pursue their enemies with daring. Owner's Name inside. Pages tanned, spine a little worn. Fair.
