The Owl with the Golden Heart

Meer over het boek

Simon Cowell, founder of Surrey-based animal rescue centre, Wildlife Aid, has brought to life a story which he first began writing some 20 years ago... In its chapters we meet One-Eye an owl who has found himself suddenly transported from the wild to the intensive care unit at the Wildlife Aid centre. One-Eye is puzzled and frightened, torn from his natural realm by injury and the careless indifference of man. Sadly, One-Eye is not alone, and he soon finds himself sharing his misfortune and misery with a variety of creatures from Britain's endangered and shrinking countryside. This is no ordinary animal this is a book which attempts to understand the feelings of animals, to explore and imagine what they might be thinking, what they might be saying to each other, and, more importantly, what they might be saying to human beings if only they could talk to us. The impetus for this book stems from the passionate vision of Simon Cowell and his dedicated colleagues at Wildlife Aid, as they fight to redress the balance between Man and Nature, and to care for and nurse Britain's beautiful wild creatures the heritage which should belong to us all.
