Synopsis
When Tom the shepherd comes across a wailing little bundle in the lambing pens, it changes his life. He and his wife are childless and are delighted to adopt the baby, but soon realize that "Spider" is no ordinary child. He has a strange special gift, for he can communicate with animals.

From the Back Cover
'Crowstarving was the ideal job for Spider - he was on his own, yet never felt alone, for all around him were animals of one sort or another.'
From the moment he's left as a foundling in a lambing pen on Outoverdown Farm, Spider Sparrow is surrounded by animals. Adopted by the kindly shepherd and his wife, Spider comes to know his father's sheep and beloved border collie, the farmer's horses, the wild otters of the valley and every other local creature, including the crows he must scare away from the newly sown wheat. Amazingly, every animal who meets him implicitly trusts the young boy, and he loves them all. This magical rapport is Spider's unique gift, but nothing else in his life comes so easily.
