Les Corbeaux De Pearblossom

Written in 1944 by Aldous Huxley as a Christmas gift for his niece, _The Crows

of Pearblossom_ tells the story of Mr. and Mrs. Crow, who live in a cottonwood

tree. The hungry Rattlesnake that lives at the bottom of the tree has a nasty

habit of stealing Mrs. Crow's eggs before they can hatch, so Mr. Crow and his

wise friend, Old Man Owl, devise a sneaky plan to trick him.

This funny story of cleverness triumphing over greed, similar in tone and wit

to the work of A. A. Milne, shows a new side of a great writer.
