Synopsis:
The smart Jim Sparrow plays a significant role again in these amusing fictional stories, that are so clearly related to human morals, misdeameanours, and everyday conumdrums - from bad eating habits to flying regulations!In response to popular demand, here are the further tales of Jim Sparrow of Woodford Green. Certainly a must for such tales-a giant of a leader, to console, assist, have faith, confidence, patience, helping other sparrows to fly along the right pathways of life.And in these tales - Jim Sparrow, aged sage of Ambrosia Avenue, delivers many words of wisdom, handed down through many generations, not only in the Sparrow world, but gleaned from human behaviour too.Next time you pass bush or tree and hear the chirruping and chirping and cheeping of our many feathered friends, listen carefully; it might be Jim Sparrow!
