The Blue Feather

There's a myth in Esperance that's been around for years, apparently going as far back as the arrival of the first Europeans. Locals think there's a huge bird, big enough to carry away adult humans ... BLUE FEATHER is a stunningly crafted mystery from one of Australia's most awarded writers, Gary Crew.

This title was a 1998 CBC Notable Book and Gary Crew has won the CBC Book of the Year award four times.

Recurring rumours of attacks by a giant raptor lead Greg Muir to seek the truth behind the bird's existence. Is it big enough to bring down a light plane? Can it carry away human beings in its talons? Is it responsible for the mutilation of a hang-glider?

A quest for a creature as fearful as it is elusive... Is the story of the huge bird only a myth, or is it reality? And if it is a reality, what part will it play in shaping the lives of those who search for it?

The Blue Feather is a beautifully crafted novel. Fully satisfying. - HERALD SUN
