Ornithography: An Illustrated Guide

From the creator of Floriography: An Illustrated Guide, this companion volume explores the folklore, mythology, and history surrounding our favorite winged creatures. 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. Each of the 100 entries focuses on one bird species, featuring a full-page color illustration in Jessica's detailed, darkly romantic style.
