It squatted belligerently, peering up at me with miniature magpie fury. George.When Frieda Hughes moved to the depths of the Welsh countryside, she was expecting to take on a few projects: planting a garden, painting and writing her poetry column for the Times. But instead, she found herself rescuing a baby magpie, the sole survivor of a nest destroyed in a storm - and embarking on an obsession that would change the course of her life.  As the magpie, George, grows from a shrieking scrap of feathers and bones into an intelligent, unruly companion, Frieda finds herself captivated - and apprehensive of what will happen when the time comes to finally set him free.","brand":"Profile Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49568540819744,"sku":"9781800814806","price":9.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781800814806.jpg?v=1768414463","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/george-frieda-hughes-9781800814806","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
