Tale of Jolly Robin

Tale of Jolly Robin

Arthur Scott Bailey

In the green quiet of early morning, a robin named Jolly discovers that being kind comes as naturally to him as singing at sunrise. Arthur Scott Bailey weaves a gentle adventure through meadows and thickets, where Jolly encounters friends and strangers alike, each encounter teaching him something about the small pleasures of country life. The birds go about their days building nests, singing songs, and weathering the small storms that pass through their world. There are no grand quests or dark villains here, only the quiet satisfactions of friendship, the warmth of returning home, and the simple joy of watching the world wake up. First published in the early twentieth century, this is a book for readers who believe that stories can be tender without being tame, and that a bird's life, seen closely enough, holds all the wonder anyone could need. Perfect for reading aloud at bedtime or for independent readers ready for something peaceful and kind.
