James Edmund Harting
271 pages~5 hr 24 min read17 chapters$4.99
Shakespeare knew his birds, from the eagle to the songthrush, and James Harting hunts them through the plays. He gathers every winged reference: hawks and hawking, the owl and its omens, the crows, and the birds of song. Learned, charming, and full of poetry. A delightful marriage of ornithology and literature. Read Shakespeare with a birdwatcher's eye and hear the whole aviary sing.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
