Clarke is a master.--Los Angeles Times There has been nothing like it for years; partly for the actual invention, but partly because here we meet a modern author who understands that there may be things that have a higher claim on humanity than its own 'survival.' --C. S. Lewis As a science fiction writer, Clarke has all the essentials.--Jeremy Bernstein, The New Yorker From the Paperback edition.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. Meet Slipper, Feathers, and Hog. Three of the rarest birds ever known to humankind. Now people say birds of a feather tend to flock together, but not on the Beach by the Rock. That's where these three unique friends meet for the first time, performing risky feats for one another and then later for the hundreds of folks who gather to watch. But when the stunts of the most gifted and eager-to-please bird are overshadowed by the sheer beauty of his best friend, an attempt to borrow back the limelight nearly ends in disaster. Why do these birds stunt fly at all? What do they expect from the skies, one another, and the crowds below? And just what are the people on the beach looking for from them? It takes a flight of imagination, the courage to be oneself, and the support of good friends to find out.…
