Description: “A beautiful new Irish bird-book…a rich celebration of the interplay of birds with ancient human needs for magic and mystery, not to mention a well-shaped story or poem… In a manifest labour of love, Dubliner Glynn Anderson fits his antiquarian research into a matrix of modern knowledge about birds…and the exalting bonus of this treasurable hardback is its superb use of lithographs by John Gould, England's 19th-century answer to America's Audubon.” Michael Viney, Irish Times
