I haven’t read this book in decades and yet the little bird remains within me, perhaps a crooked offspring of Emily’s feathered thing. It goes with me into every conversation I have, every book I read, every movie I watch. Endlessly asking; “Are you myself?” Max Cohen are you myself? Godfrey and Dunstan are you myself? Henry Crawford are you myself? Troy Chatham are you myself? The answer is never yes, and yet when the night is dark and the shadows on the wall move oh so quickly, the little bird is not sure. And so he runs and hides from the awful thing he has seen mirrored there.

I just had to review this. This was my favorite book when I was little. I had it read to me so many times, my parents still groan at the thought of it. My copy is bent and worn, and looks as loved as it was.

As a child I lost 4 copies of this book because I took it absolutely everywhere! My favorite book/ object for a very long time! Not only did I have it read to me at least 5 times every night, but I slept with it when I was done reading, as if it were a teddy bear! xD

First book I ever read by myself, in the presence of my mother of course.
