Classics : An Episode of Sparrows
An Episode of Sparrows
by Rumer Godden
Neighborhood children—"the sparrows"—have been in search of “good, garden earth.” The Garden Committee thinks they have taken it from the private garden in the public square. Have they? An investigation leads to, among other things, a hidden garden. Ages 10 and Up

"A host of readers will be grateful for this shining book. It is a deft, amusing, and touching story of a London neighborhood where wealth adjoins poverty.... A false touch would tip it over, but Miss Godden stays this side of sentiment."—Saturday Review
