Description: "This informative and whimsical picture book explores how a love of birds inspired two literary greats-Charles Dickens and Edgar Allen Poe"--

Review Quotes: ★ "Fotheringham's digital illustrations beautifully evoke the dress and scenery of the Victorian era. Employing the craft of a skilled storyteller, Singer makes a few historical facts come alive in the form of a delightful tale . . . A slice of literary history that will appeal to a young audience as well as teachers, librarians, and caregivers. Perfect as a read-aloud, this is a fine addition for any collection." --School Library Journal, starred review

"An expanded version of one of the several solutions to the Mad Hatter's riddle about how a raven is like a writing desk: Poe and Dickens wrote on both . . . Worth treasuring for its very unlikeliness." --Kirkus
