Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING ILLUSTRATOR
From the creator of Floriography and the Woodland Wardens Oracle Deck comes this beautifully illustrated exploration of the folklore, mythology, and history surrounding our favourite winged companions.
Birds have inspired us since the dawn of time: their elegance in flight, captivating colours, and delicate mannerisms 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 Jessica Roux’s Ornithography, each of 100 entries focuses on one bird species, featuring a full-page colour illustration in her 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.
