He blamed Nature for his ugliness and appealed to the other birds for help. They took pity on poor Howlat; but as soon as they had decked him out in finery, he became impossibly conceited – which is when they flew off and left him alone in the night. This ancient Scottish fable is retold by James Robertson with magnificent illustrations by Kate Leiper.Read MoreRead Less publ £6.99now £3.50 Qty Qty123 Add to Basket CategoriesChildren'sTagsChildren's / Teenage
