Flights of Fancy by Peter Tate
Throughout history, birds have fascinated and intrigued mankind, so it is hardly surprising that an astonishingly rich body of myth, legend and superstition has grown up around them. This book explores the stories about 30 of the world's best-known species, from the blackbird to the wryneck, drawing on traditions from every quarter of the globe.
Peter Tate has published several books on ornithology, including Bird, Men and Books: A Literary History of Ornithology and A Century of Bird Books. When his publisher Anthony Witherby died some years ago, he placed the manuscript of his next book quietly away on a shelf and there it remained until earlier this year.
