True to Robert Macfarlane's epiphanies about nature in last year's wonderful Is A River Alive? this compendium of birds tries to answer the question not "what" but more, "who is that bird?". The 49 species here are all illustrated by the beautiful watercolours of Jackie Morris, Macfarlane's collaborator on The Lost Words, and are all currently endangered or in decline. A field guide of songs and spirits as much as nests and habitsShortlist, 'Our 25 most anticipated non-fiction books for 2026'Praise for The Lost Words: The most beautiful and thought-provoking book I've read this yearObserver - ...ISBN (SKU)
