One day, a London taxi driver picked up a jackdaw on the road. Or a crow. Or, perhaps, a raven after all, one of those that guard the Tower. This clever bird quickly seized power in the Jones's household. Now they have no reason to fear burglars or thieves, and even a terrifying black mamba would have to give their house a wide berth.
For children aged 7-10.
