About the young magpie that fell from its nest in a Bermondsey junkyard into Charlie Gilmour's life -   and swiftly changed it. Demanding worms around the clock, riffling through his wallet, sharing his baths and roosting in his hair...     About the jackdaw kept at a Cornish stately home by Heathcote Williams, anarchist, poet, magician, stealer of Christmas, and Charlie's biological father who vanished from his life in the dead of night.     It is a story about repetition across generations and birds that run in the blood; about a terror of repeating the sins of the father and a desire to build a nest of one's own.     It is a story about change - from wild to tame; from sanity to madness; from life to death to birth; from freedom to captivity and back again, via an insane asylum, a prison and a magpie's nest.     And ultimately, it is the story of a love affair between a man and a magpie.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41185593163928,"sku":"9781474609487","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/products\/9781474609487.jpg?v=1635017240","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9781474609487","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
