«A Cruel Bird Came to the Nest and Looked In» is Magnus Mills's satirical novel, published by Bloomsbury Paperbacks in paperback, 288 pages, in English.
In the empire of Greater Fallowfields, bureaucratic chaos reigns: the orchestra is conducted by a director who has never played a note, and clocks are changed so the sun always sets at five. While the young emperor is away, an enemy approaches. A satire with parallels to our world.
