Come my heart. And come my wings. Fly, fly before the cruel snows. Carry me. Carry me home. I must be on my way, on my way.

Safe in the shadows. Safe among trees. Darting, flitting, swooping and soaring.

Onwards, upwards. Long way to go. Get there I must. Get there I will.

One courageous little Robin sets off on an epic journey to travel home for Christmas.

In this fabulous, wintry tale from master storyteller Michael Morpurgo, a little robin journeys through dense forests, sheets of rain, sonorous thunder and bright flashes of lightning; he crosses dark mountains and wild seas, all the while dreaming of home and 'of her'.

Lyrical and moving, Coming Home relays the details of a relatively unknown natural phenomenon; while some robins do, of course, live in our gardens all year long, some migrate hundreds of miles just to winter in our gardens.
