A gorgeous alternative to sending someone a card. With covers created by leading contemporary artists and poems hand-picked to speak to every kind of reader

'The ten selections are little miracles in themselves, capturing the quirks of habit or appearance that distinguish one species from another. Never anthropomorphic, they imagine what the vivid life of a bird must be, or tease out what it is that thrills or moves us when we’re surprised by a bird as we hurry about our lives.'
