Stories bringing you the sparkle of nature at Christmas
We’re nearing the end of this unusual Christmas advent calendar of short stories, journeying with Michael Grey as he discovers the traits of the birds he loves to watch are often reflected in the people closest to him.
As I researched this story I learned that the Wren is connected to the most charming legend…
Legend has it that once long ago, in a secret green valley on the south coast, all types of birds gathered to discuss which of them should be king. It was decided the bird that flew the highest should take the crown. The majestic eagle soared way above the other contestants – only to discover that a wren had ridden on his back, flying high above the eagle at the last moment and claiming the prize.
