Description
Poets and artists are drawn to birds, the hollow-boned sons and daughters of dinosaurs. They captivate us with their talents, habits, intricate plumage and aerobatic feats that exceed our technologies. Since birds, poetry and illustration are as sure an alchemy as salt, mercury and sulphur, Sidekick Books has brought these three elements together in the four-volume Birdbook series, beginning with Birdbook: Towns, Parks, Gardens and Woodland and some familiar faces.Contributors
