An Episode of Sparrows

"An Episode of Sparrows" is the name of a novel written in 1956 by Rumer Godden.

Plot summary

The story is about children in "Catford Street", a London area with much stone and asphalt, but only few green spots. A girl named "Lovejoy Mason" finds a packet with cornflower seeds and builds a small garden in a background yard. First, the other children mock at her, but one day "Tip Malone", the boss of a boys’ gang, finds interest in Lovejoy's doing. A tender friendship grows between the two children, just as the green in Lovejoy’s small garden. All this changes the views of Lovejoy and Tip and some other people in the stone jungle of the big city.

Film adaptations

The movie "Innocent Sinners" (1958) is based on the novel.
