This is a very interesting post with lots of history I did not know. I think my favorite part, though, is the sparrows who freak out when they realize the ship has sailed and they are on it. I'm pretty sure Ive had the same reaction at different times in my life. A common human ailment: when life gives us what we want, we become afraid and choose to return to safe land instead of enjoying the bountiful journey.
The sparrows are the most joyous part of the writing for us too! We never plan them - they shape their own stories quite spontaneously. So we're truly glad you enjoyed them! They really didn't think it through when they flew on to the ship!!
