Notes

  • The title of this autobiography was chosen because Mollie Skinner, after spending much time in a darkened room with bandaged eyes due to an ulcerated cornea, thought of herself as the fifth sparrow (Luke 12:6) - 'a poor, befeathered, blinded little bird yet still having joyful life, ability to fly, to sing, to preen, to pick up crumbs and drink and to find fellowship with my kind'.
  • Published posthumously.
