Best-selling author, illustrator and friend of the shop, Jackie Morris brings us yet another beautifully illustrated creation Queen of the Sky. We have several signed copies of this heart-warming story of a peregrine falcon rescued from the sea off the remote coast of west Wales. Jackie tells the story of how her friend Ffion Rees nursed the falcon back to life and back to the wild, describing the risks, the triumphs and above all the trust that developed and formed the basis of the falcon’s path to survival.

‘The first time I saw her she was sitting on the window sill in Ffion’s kitchen. She was ragged, wild, dangerous, beautiful. I thought she would only be around for a few days before she was off again. I took so many photographs of her, trying to hold her in my memory, watching her close. Dark-eyed, sharp-clawed, she seemed unreal, out of place in a domestic setting. I didn’t realise then that this was just the start of the story.’
