  • 3 Want to read

Young Truxton Pilcher roams the forests around the British colony of Williamsburg and delights in its birds. He rescues them from danger, mends their broken wings, and draws their graceful shapes in the dust of the foundry where he must work. Despite his brothers' teasing, the songs of birds run through his head, and he dreams of a different life. Then great sorrow comes upon Truxton's family, and he has no thought for bird songs while his father is held in gaol. If only... if only... he could rescue Father! But it seems that nothing less than a royal pardon can set Father free. - Back cover.

When his father is imprisoned and faces death for maiming in a foundry accident, Truxton proves his love for his parent whose fate is in God's hands.
