About This Book

The tale follows an elderly raven, Hans, who recounts episodes from his long life to eager raven chicks in exchange for worms and grubs. He reminisces about his early nest high in an oak, the surrounding countryside with a once-grand castle and a winding river, seasons and dangers, and encounters with human children. Through episodic, often eerie anecdotes the narrative celebrates memory, storytelling, and the bonds between generations of birds while portraying aging, curiosity, and the natural world.
