Corvids play an outsize role in the human imagination. We keep ravens in
towers, emblazon rooks on banners, find crows in the constellations and
make sure to salute solitary magpies. We also see our own behaviour
mirrored in this diverse family of birds, who are tricksters and thieves
as well as problem-solvers and gift-givers.
This beautifully designed book showcases the visual and literary life of
the corvid, from Norse legends to Game of Thrones. It includes
beautiful and darkly seductive photographs and paintings as well as
texts and poems in which they play a starring role and information about
the traits that make them so intriguing to us.
