This is the story of six characters, all birds. What begins as a quirky woodland tale evolves into a challenge to the mismanagement of the environment by humans, and their abuse of power over all other species. Thereâs banter between the birds, information about the natural world, thereâs serious debate and thereâs satire. Itâs fun and itâs thought-provoking.The title refers to the fact that Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) immortalised the otherwise extinct dodo in âAliceâs Adventures in Wonderlandâ. The dodo was yesterdayâs bird, but what will be the fate of tomorrowâs birds, of tomorrowâs humans and of our fragile, suffering planet?The hero of âDodgsonâs Dodoâ is a feisty rook, Rachel, who plays a smart role in this fascinating, imaginative and beautifully realised story. All the birds are real characters, and everyone reading it will be both entertained and better informed. Itâs witty and memorable, but above all itâs topical and relevant. Its message is urgent.âIt should be prescribed reading for high school Biology students.â Anne Kendall - retired high school science teacher.
