A Book of Birds and Verse is a collection of good-humoured verse fused
together with illustrations of some of our best-loved wild birds; birds
that we may see every day in our gardens, towns and countryside.
The writer and wildlife artist Joseph Johnson has combined his talents
of painting and writing to bring the reader a presentation of a number
of Britain's favourite wild birds, each one introduced through rhyming
verse.
Joseph has enjoyed a lifelong love of the natural world and is a keen
conservationist. He has written this collection of short illustrated
poems with a humour which will introduce, entertain and perhaps educate
the young reader as well as the maybe not so young to many of the
characteristics of the subjects.
Our fine feathered friends are a blessing to us all and the author hopes
that the readers of this book may come to see some of them in a new and
fresh light together with a smile.
