A touching war time momento... Sold for a Farthing by Clare Kipps

The book is a factual account of how Kipps, while working as an air-raid warden in London in World War Two, finds a newborn baby sparrow on her doorstep half dead, takes him in and nurses him with no realistic hope for his survival. The sparrow lives, though he has a damaged wing and cannot fly well, and she keeps him in her home where she lives alone.
