"It would be impossible to quote all the wise and beautiful descriptions and incidents which reveal that most precious of gifts, the power of appreciation of beauty by ear and eye: the book is one to read again and again." 

Fist published in 1927, The Charm of Birds was an immediate popular success, but as been unavailable for many years. It deals mostly, but not exclusively , with birdsong, and is full of sensitive observation, beautifully written. Unlike most works of ornithology, it can be read for the pleasures of its prose alone.

This handsome new edition contains all the woodcuts by Robert Gibbings that appeared in the original edition, with the addition of some of his other bird engravings. It is a volume to inspire all lovers of nature.
