Song of Pentecost The W J Corbett 9780749709266 Books

I know it's "taboo" to review a product for its condition, but bear with me. When I received this product (the 1985 American Dell Yearling edition) some pages were loose from the spine. I had the same copy of this book years ago with loose pages from the same part of the book. It could have been from reading wear, but when I got this second copy these pages were already loose. I am not blaming the merchant or the shipper. But it is very possible that Dell made a "bad bunch"? Maybe fans can contact Dell and request a re-issue of this series?
I can't think of anything to say about how wonderful this book is, well, except how wonderful this book is, and I gave it five stars. And the Pentecost mouse always reminded me of a rodent version of David Bowie RIP (one brown eye, one blue eye) :) :)

Song of Pentecost The W J Corbett 9780749709266 Books Reviews

This is the first of the Pentecost books (followed by Pentecost and the Chosen One and Pentecost of Lickey Top).
After his father's death, Snake is bamboozled by his alleged Cousin who, backed up by a Frog, claims he whas fallen heir to Snake's dear home, the Oily Green Pool.
Determined to have his pond back, Snake sets out in search of the lying batrachian. He ends up in a old farm, the home of a family of harvest mice, the leader of whom is Pentecost. The mouse agrees to help Snake find Frog if in return he finds them a new home, as the farm is going to be detroyed by the over-spilling City.
The story goes on to describe their journey across the English countryside to the Oily Green Pool and the Lickey Hills, meeting numerous beasts on the way, either friend or foe, but often "playing both ends against the middle".
The Song of Pentecost is a lovely animal fable, where in the end everyone learns from their mistakes or repents from their treacheries, but I must say I was a little bit disturbed by the religious, often moralizing metaphors. I was also deeply shocked by the end.
