First published in 1927, 'The Charm of Birds' was an immediate popular success, but has 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 splendid new edition contains all the woodcuts by Robert Gibbings that appeared in the first edition, with the addition of many of his other bird work.
