Seller's Description:
Watkins-Pitchford, D.J. Good+ No Jacket. 12mo-over 6¾"-7¾" tall. Pictorial laminated hardcover binding has minor soiling, bumped corners. Interior shows foxing, else clean and tight. Picture on cover shows boy and girl-small red and blue bird on girl's finger. List of other Red Bison Books titles on back of cover. 118 pages. Two orphan bullfinches-bullies-are found by a family, and the children, Peter and Sheila raise them. Named Biddy and Ben, they grow strong and healthy. One day they are accidentally set free. Biddy leaves Ben for another male Biddy, so Ben goes looking for a wife. Nicely illustrated, nature tale with a bit of stark reality thrown in. Using the pen name BB, Denys Watkins-Pitchford liked using a different name as the author and illustrator of his books even though they are one and the same.
