Mervin the MagpieMervin is the woodland postman. Each morning he sets off across the fields, hedgerows and cottages delivering letters, parcels and news to everyone who lives in the valley. Mervin takes his job seriously. A good postman must be observant, reliable and always curious about the world around him.  But one day something unusual begins to trouble the peaceful woodland community. With the help of his sharp eye and his favourite hobby, Mervin begins to notice clues that others have missed.
Piece by piece he follows the trail, determined to discover what is really going on. Mervin the Magpie is a quiet countryside story about curiosity, patience and paying attention to the small details that others overlook. A gentle illustrated tale for children who enjoy animals, nature and a good mystery.
