Harry's Mad

Product Information

The family realizes that they can’t let anyone outside of the family know about Mad’s talents. Also that Mad is quite an addition to the family in many ways. Although I enjoyed this more there were parts and ideas that I feel could have been omitted to make the story flow better. There was also an unnecessarily cruel element to the text near the end which didn't fit in with the theme. I loved this book as a kid and recently unearthed my mildewed, yellowed copy from my parents' garage. So i figured I'd read it one last time before consigning it to the bin. It is understandable that Harry has been marked for life by what happened to his mother. Some of what the tabloid press did in the 1980s and 1990s, in an era of frenzied commercial competition was frankly deplorable.

Would Harry rather return to the deference of the press in the 1930s, when it failed to report Edward VIII’s burgeoning love affair with Wallis Simpson until it was all but a fait accompli? The lessons of that experience are that deference does not work when there’s a genuine crisis brewing and even then the story was being widely reported across the world while the British remained in ignorance.Harry is a bit miffed to inherit a parrot from a great-uncle he’s never met, but Madison, the parrot, turns out to be a fun surprise. Madison is a brilliant bird that can help with homework, do crosswords, and share delicious recipes. Things are going peachy until the unthinkable happens and Madison is stolen.

Let me remind you that Boris Johnson proposed to cut the Civil Service by 91,000 over three years. And that was the last we heard of it. Meanwhile, the Civil Service’s response had been to show a marked reluctance to return to normal working after the pandemic even though public services are the subject of continual public complaint. And then there is “The Blob” – the mandarinate – widely reported to be frustrating Ministers’ policies, especially over Brexit de-regulation. Harry Holdsworth’s family received a letter from their Great-Uncle George, in the U.S., telling them that Harry is to receive an inheritance. Imaginations run wild, while waiting for it to arrive. Among his well-loved books is Babe, The Gallant Pig, which was recently made into a major motion picture, and was nominated for an Academy Award. It is not as though Mr Sunak does not know where to start. It is claimed that the total staff in No 10 is now 400, more than three times the size of Margaret Thatcher’s team at her busiest.

If the Government goes into it without any credibility about its economic plans, it will surely lose, even if the Opposition is in reality just as vacant. But by and large, partly as a result of that experience, the British press has been more restrained in recent years. The paparazzi are still with us but their market these days is continental and American – many of the headlines shown in the recent Netflix documentary were from US supermarket tabloids and the photographs of massed ranks of photographers were taken from other, non-royal events on different occasions. Ten-year-old Harry, who lives in London, receives a letter from America informing him that his great-uncle has left him something in his will. It turns out to be…a parrot named Madison. But Madison is no ordinary parrot! Without a clear public understanding as to how it intends to cut its cloak according to the available cloth, it might as well be talking to the birds. Public pledges are meaningless without explaining how they will be achieved. As a child, i wanted a parrot. My parents never obliged to that but we did get into breeding smaller parakeets and other birds. This book, amongst others, was both encouraging of my love of birds and also inspired me to write my own books later in life.
