The Charm of Birds is Edward Grey's remarkably fresh perspective on the bird life he found around his Northumberland home and his Hampshire cottage, a book which still has the capacity to remind us of nature's wonder.
First published in 1927, The
Charm of Birds was an immediate bestseller, and combined an amateur
ornithologist’s keen eye with enthusiasm and a remarkably modern sensibility
and style. In particular Grey, much better known as the statesman who guided
British Foreign Policy in the early decades of the 20th century, broke
with the traditions of an earlier age which saw shooting as indivisible from a
love of nature. Grey’s delight in the birds he found around both his home in
Northumberland and his Hampshire cottage shines from every page. Nearly 100
years after the first publication of The Charm of Birds a whole new
generation of readers is rediscovering Grey’s unique perspective, and
appreciating again the freshness of the prose. This new edition has an
introduction by the best-selling nature writer Stephen Moss and a foreword by
the author Conor Jameson. Illustrated with engravings by Eric Fitch Daglish.
