Likened to George Orwell’s Animal Farm, a must read for all those who would like to see an end to the unnecessary bloodshed in Iraq, and to pick the right guy for the job of President of the United States of America, the book uses animals to tell how this conflict can be brought to a peaceful end. The book is about the war between the fox and the magpie. The fox in the story is seen as George W Bush and Tony Blair, the magpies as the Iraqis and the Mirror birds eggs as the oil in Iraq.

The Donkey that has to ask an important question that only the Elephant can answer. As the donkey had never seen an elephant before and from what he'd been told the elephant having a trunk and tail, it either had two heads or two tails. Therefore, the donkey asked an owl which end, he should speak to. The wise old Owl tells him to speak to the end with the trunk, for only that end can speak the truth and to beware of the end with a stink upon its breath, or he'd end up in the poo.
The book has a Pitbull with the red lips who has a good idea that just might help. Is that lipstick the Pitbull is wearing? You can be the judge of that.

After Norman the fox killed Marcus the magpie. He turned to look at the last three eggs and was taken aback at the three different reflections staring at him from the very shiny eggs.
(fox) The face in the middle looked sad and said to Norman: ‘These are the last mirror bird’s eggs, when you’ve eaten them, there will never be another mirror bird again!’
(George W Bush)The reflection on the right egg said: ‘Don’t listen to him; the eggs are a resource, you had to make their minds up for the magpies.’
(Tony Blair) The face on the left with a cheesy grin said: ‘You did the magpies a favour; you’re their friend. Now the magpies don’t have to look after the eggs, they can get on with their lives. Yes, Marcus got killed, but then there are always casualties.
See attached drawing; the faces on the eggs say it all.
Blood of The Magpie is coming out in Arabic as well as English, and its publishers Omran Publishing, hope that it might heal the wounds of this bloody conflict in Iraq.
