The Bedside Book of Birds is a richly illustrated anthology tracing humanity’s fascination with birds from ancient myth to modern literature. Compiled over fifteen years by novelist and birdwatcher Graeme Gibson, it celebrates the bird’s role as symbol, muse and scientific marvel.
Through prose and images, this collection explores how birds have inspired philosophers, poets and naturalists across cultures. From Platonic allegories and medieval manuscripts to contemporary essays and poems, it offers a sweeping survey of human creativity shaped by the avian world.
With its blend of scholarship, art and storytelling, The Bedside Book of Birds invites nature lovers and literature enthusiasts to deepen their appreciation for the feathered tribes that have long captured our imaginations.

This seller was incredible. I purchased an inexpensive (used) book and was almost immediately notified that it shipped on the same day I ordered it. I received it within 2 days. It was exactly as described - it looked like it had never even been read! Great service & a great product. Thanks!
