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 beloved feathered companions. Birds have inspired us since the dawn of time: their elegance in flight, striking colors, and subtle behaviors awaken hope, joy, and pleasure. Cultures around the world have traditionally viewed birds as sacred messengers, intermediaries between earth and sky, incorporating them into myths and legends and using them to teach moral lessons and historical truths.

In Jessica Roux's Ornithography, each of the 100 entries focuses on a bird species, with a full-page colorful illustration in her detailed and darkly romantic style and the folklore behind each bird. An ideal gift for birdwatchers, gardeners, and historians, as well as for all readers who appreciate nature, mythology, and art, Ornithography is as captivating and playful as the feathered muses it contains within its pages.
