From the creators of the internationally bestselling, award-winning, multi-adapted phenomenon The Lost Words: a dazzling celebration of birdlife in Britain, re
imagining the classic field guide for a new generation of nature lovers
The Book of Birds is a compendium of forty-nine bird species, from Avocet to
Yelowhammer, al of which are presently declining or endangered in Britain.
Inspired by the classic bird-books with which the authors grew up, this is a field
guide with a difference. It asks not ‘What is that bird?’, but ‘Who is that bird?’ It
shows its readers how to identify birds, but also how to identify with them.
