(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Peter Bailey. Spider, abandoned at birth and adopted by a shepherd and his wife, doesn't speak or move the way other children do. His mental disabilities keep him out of school, but Spider has remarkable abilities with the animals around his farm home. Though the characters are less real than the setting, details of place and time leave the reader with a strong picture of farm life in World War II England. Glos.
