Since the dawn of time, birds have inspired us with their elegance in flight, their captivating colors, and their delicate mannerisms that spark hope, joy, and delight. Cultures around the world have historically looked to birds as sacred messengers—intermediaries between earth and sky—including them in myths and legends and using them to teach moral lessons and historical truths. In Ornithography, each of 100 entries focuses on one bird species, featuring a full-page color illustration in author Jessica Roux’s detailed, darkly romantic style, and the lore behind each bird. The perfect gift for birdwatchers, gardeners, and history buffs, as well as all readers who appreciate nature, mythology, and art, Ornithography is as intriguing and playful as the feathered muses that fill its pages. Hardcover; 224 pages.
