Description

There was once a robot with a broken heart, good for nothing but expiring slowly on a scrap heap. Then one winter's day a migrating bluebird lands on his shoulder, too exhausted to go further. The robot offers her shelter in the place where his heart used to be, and her warmth and singing and companionship stir up the last glimmer of energy the robot has; he carries her across snowy wastes to the warm south, whereupon his strength dies out finally. And there he still stands today like an old hollow tree, home every year to singing birds.

A moving story about the power of friendship and selflessness, in this poetic homage to The Happy Prince.

About the Author
David Lucas was born in 1966 in Middlesborough, in the north of England. He grew up in Hackney, in East London, and studied illustration at the Royal College of Art. He lives and works in London.

Reviews
"Beautifully illustrated story about a robot whose broken heart is healed by the companionship of a little bluebird" * Nursery World *
"Offbeat talent in a world reminiscent of Tim Burton's." * Observer *
"A poignant book...It's simple pictures steer the story away from sentimentality, and its readers will take a while to grow out of it." * Telegraph *
"This is (excuse the pun) a real heart warmer of a book." * Junior Education Plus *
"This is one of the finest children's picture books I have had the pleasure of reading in a very long time." * Junior Education Plus *

Absolutely Fantastic

This was my first time ordering from SciFier but it definitely won't be my last. When it comes to buying books online the packaging needs to be good, SciFier were great they used bubble wrap to make sure they arrived perfect. Amazing range of books that majority are lower priced than most book retailers. Wonderful service, I'll definitely be recommending to everyone. Thank you.

My favourite pick for manga

Great delivery to EU, no issues with customs. Very good packaging. A nice selection of manga and, so far, the best prices I could find :)

Great as always

Same old, same old. Amazing experience, great packaging, shipping was faster since it was a bit smaller and check out was smooth as butter. I have now put myself on a buy allowance because I cannot be trusted lol.
