The Enchantment of Golden Eagle
The Enchantment of Golden Eagle
A powerful tale about a child, a golden eagle and a forgotten promise from the author of the children's classic Fox, illustrated by the beloved creator of Mutt Dog.
In time Golden Eagle was well enough to fly away, but he loved the children, so he promised to stay with them at the edge of the dark forest.
Until one day, the wind whispered and the breeze caressed his feathers, and Golden Eagle forgot his promise ...
An unforgettable tale about love, nature and forgiveness, suitable for readers of Fox or The Duck and the Darklings from two of Australia's most-celebrated picture book creators.
