A beautiful hardcover edition of the classic picture book to celebrate the 25th anniversary of this compelling drama about friendship, loyalty, risk and betrayal.

Through the charred forest, over hot ash, runs Dog with a bird clamped in his big, gentle mouth. He takes her to his cave above the river and there he tries to tend her burnt wing: but Magpie does not want his help.
'I will never again be able to fly,' she whispers.
'I know,' says Dog.
He is silent for a moment, and then he says, 'I am blind in one eye but life is still good.'

An injured magpie and a one-eyed dog live happily together in the forest, until a jealous fox arrives to teach them what it means to be alone.

This breathtaking picture book has won acclaim around the world: CBCA Picture Book of the Year; two Premiers' literary awards; honours in Germany, Brazil, Japan; a shortlisting for the prestigious Kate Greenaway Medal in the UK, and more.
