New condition forest green cloth boards with gold spine lettering contained in a new condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Preliminary Page Quotes; Author Dedication; Introduction by Graeme Gibson; Bibliography/Text Acknowledgments; Image Acknowledgments; Author's Acknowledgments; Index of Contributions; Helping Birds in Peril; and About the Author. Illustrated with color paintings, a multi-page color frontispiece painting and two-color front and rear endpaper illustrations. "In this stunning assemblage of words and images, novelist and avid birdwatcher Graeme Gibson has crafted an extraordinary tribute to the venerable relationship between humans and birds. Birds have ever been the symbols of ourhighest aspirations. As divine messengers, symbols of our yearning for the heavens, or avatars of glorious song and colour, they have stirred our imaginations for the moment we first looked into the sky. Whether as the Christian dove, or Quetzalcoatl - the Aztec Plumed Serpent - or in Plato's vision of the human soul grouwing wings and feathers, religion and philosophy have looked to birds as representatives of our better selves - that part of us not bound to the earth. With the passion of a birdwathcer and harder of words, Gibson has spent fifteen years collecting the literary and artistic forms our affinity for birds has taken over the centuries. Birds appear again and again in mythology and folk tales, and in literature by writers as diverse as Ovid, Thomas Hardy, Kafka, Thoreau and T.S. Eliot. They've been omens, allegories, disguises and guides; they've been worshipped, eaten, feared and loved. Nor does Gibson forget the fascination they hold for science, as the Galapagos finches did for Darwin. Birds figure charmingly and tellingly in the work of such nature writers as Gilbert White, Peter Matthiessen, Farley Mowat and Barry Lopez. Gorgeously illustrated, woven from centuries of human response to the delights of the feathered tribes, The Bedside Book of Birds is for anyone who is aware of birds, and for everyone who is intrigued by the artistic forms that humanity has created to represent its soul." - from the inner front jacket flap.

Hardback. With a new introduction by Margaret Atwood. Featured in the vast majority of mythologies and religions, birds are generally associated with creativity and the human spirit. The Bedside Book of Birds is an unexpected and fascinating treasure trove of paintings, drawings, essays and scientific observations: it marvellously conveys the hope, the longing, and the enchantment that birds have evoked in humans in all cultures and all times. Beautifully produced, the book contains more than one hundred illustrations, ranging from early cave paintings through works by Audubon, Morris and Gould, to Inuit and other works created in the twentieth century.

Book design by CS Richardson. Royal 8vo. pp.xix + 370.with colour and black & white illustrations. original green cloth hardcover in pictorial dust wrapper. A fine copy. Featured in the vast majority of mythologies and religions, birds are generally associated with creativity and the human spirit. From the Christian dove to Quetzalcoatl (the Aztec plumed serpent), and from Raven Man to Plato's description of the soul growing wings and feathers, birds have represented the soul in contrast to the body, the spiritual as opposed to the earthly. Beautifully produced, the book contains more than one hundred illustrations, from early cave paintings to Audubon, Morris and Gould, Inuit and works created in the twentieth century. Writings by naturalists W.H. Hudson, Laurens van der Post, Peter Matthiessen & Barry Lopez, and by classical authors such as Shakespeare, Coleridge, Melville & Poe. There is also a rich seam of contemporary work by Jorge Luis Borges, Ted Hughes, Italo Calvino, Bruce Chatwin & Haruki Murakami, among many others.
