    About this audiobook

    I was only a little baby song-sparrow, and from the moment I came out of my shell everybody knew there was something the matter with me. So starts the short story of Scraggles, a young sparrow who came to be rescued and nurtured by a human family, as told in Scraggles "own words". Listeners are forewarned the ending chapters of Scraggles may be disturbing to some of our younger listeners. A special note from the Reader - if you would like to see the pictures of Scraggles that are mentioned in the book, please visit the Project Gutenberg link for the text. (Summary by Tom Weiss)
