Hardback non-fiction with lovely illustrations. 300 pages, published 2023. By Miriam Darlington.
Excellent used condition. There's a circular mark on the front of the dust cover showing where a sticker had once been (see all pics), but this copy is otherwise like new. No marks or writing, no missing pages.
"When her son develops a mysterious illness, celebrated British nature writer Miriam Darlington's quest to understand the elusive nature of owls becomes entangled with her search for finding a cure for her son. In The Wise Hours, the author watches and listens to the natural world and to the rhythms of her home and family, inviting readers to discover the wonders of owls, all while rewilding our imagination with the mystery, fragility, and magnificence of all creatures. Owls have existed for over 60 million years, and in the relatively short time we've shared the planet with these majestic birds, they have ignited the human imagination. But even as owls continue to captivate us collectively, Darlington finds herself struck by everything she doesn’t know about the true nature of these enigmatic creatures. She begins her fieldwork in the British Isles with her teenage son, Benji. As her avian fascination grows, she travels to France, Serbia, Spain, Finland, and the frosted Lapland borders of the Arctic--for rare encounters with the Barn Owl, Tawny Owl, Long-eared Owl, Pygmy Owl, Snowy Owl, and more." 🦉💞
