A Nest Full of Stars by James Berry
'A Nest Full of Stars is a marvellous, warmly humane and richly humourous new collection from James Berry' Achuka From A Nest Full of Stars Only chance made me come and find my hen, stepping from her hidden nest, in our kitchen garden. In her clever secret place, her tenth egg, still warm, had just been dropped. Not sure of what to do, I picked up every egg, counting them, then put them down again. All were mine. All swept me away and back. I blinked, I saw: a whole hand of ripe bananas, nesting. I blinked, I saw: an open bagful of ripe mangoes, nesting. I blinked, I saw: a might nest full of stars.
