Synopsis:

The Redemption of Elsdon Bird is the story of an imaginative child raised in the intolerant atmosphere of the Christian Brethren.When Dad gewts sacked from his city workplace for trying to ‘save’ his workmates, the Birds are forced to leave and move to a small, remote town. Elsdon hopes life will change for the better, but instead the family begins to disintegrate.Communicating with no-one except for other so-called ‘holy rollers’, Elsdon’s parents descend into an even more extreme religious fundamentalism, using their son as a whipping-boy for all their frustrations. And when a sequence of disasters finally breaks up the family, Elsdon’s amazing resilience and precocious humanity are tested to the very limit.
