Within months, Franc had decided to publish the book himself, and Ziji Publishing was born. Ever grateful for his bank manager’s tolerance of his mortgage needs, Franc felt obliged to read it, but was soon engrossed by Clive’s dark storytelling and the incredibly real world he had created. The manuscript thudded through Franc Roddam’s letterbox one morning in 2003, having been forwarded by his bank manager, whose assistant was, in fact, Clive’s wife. Written by Clive Woodall, a former Sainsbury’s grocery manager, it is an allegorical tale of the struggle between good and evil. One for Sorrow, Two for Joy was Ziji Publishing’s first title. But what can one bird do, in the face of such evil? A bird to fight the darkness, and bring light back to the land. For small birds throughout the land, survival is everything.īirddom needs a hero. The magpie has replaced the pigeon in the city and the starling in the garden. In Birddom, blackbird and sparrow have been exterminated. Dominance has been achieved by systematic genocide and slaughter. An evil intelligence is masterminding their inexorable rise. Welcome to Birddom – a land where magpies rule.
