Coming Home

Come my heart. And come my wings. Fly, fly before the cruel snows. Carry me. Carry me home. I must be on my way, on my way.
Safe in the shadows. Safe among trees. Darting, flitting, swooping and soaring.
Onwards, upwards. Long way to go. Get there I must. Get there I will.


One courageous little Robin sets off on an epic journey to travel home for Christmas.


In this fabulous, wintry tale from master story-teller Michael Morpurgo a little robin journeys through dense forests, sheets of rain, sonorous thunder and bright flashes of lightening; he crosses dark mountains and wild seas, all the while dreaming of home and 'of her'.


Lyrical and moving, Coming Home relays the details of a relatively unknown natural phenomenon; while some robins do, of course, live in our gardens all year long, some migrate hundreds of miles just to winter in our gardens.

Michael Morpurgo has crafted this tale with all his skill and all his love and respect for animals and the way we interact with them. It's a real delight Philip Pullman
