Plumfield and Paideia

Monarch of the Western Skies
Reviewed by Greta
I reached for some of the birds first when choosing books from C. K. Thompson’s Australian Nature Stories series. Maggie the Magnificent, an Australian Magpie, was the first I read. I loved it. I read one about a dingo next, Warrigal the Warrior. And then Monarch of the Western Skies. Apparently, and this is unlike me, I prefer predators. Warrigal the Warrior was awesome. And this one, Monarch of the Western Skies, was just as good.
