The result was   speedy delete. WP:CSD blatant hoax. This clearly fails WP:Notability (books); that is not enough for speedy deletion, but the patently false claim of "worldwide critical acclaim" in the week since its supposed release, plus the complete absence of any confirmation from searches, moves it firmly into "hoax" territory.

The sparrow on the windowsill

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Delete There is no evidence at all of notability. No sources are cited, and none have been found by extensive searching. For example, a Google search for "The sparrow on the windowsill" Lambie produces only this Wikipedia article. A similar search for just "The sparrow on the windowsill" produces nothing that relates at all to this book, though there are hits referring to other works, such as Mary Poppins. Amazon does not list it. Google books does not mention it. Similarly with other searches. The article says that the book has "received worldwide critical acclaim", yet I can find nothing about it anywhere, making this claim dubious to say the least. The article appears to be either a hoax or self-promotion for a totally non-notable book. JamesBWatson (talk) 17:18, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
