«Here is a book that will change the way we look at our feathered friends for ever.»
«Some of the rituals constructed around birds are truly extraordinary, as Peter Tate's exquisitely produced book reveals ... there are wondrous tales from all over the globe here»
«Flights of Fancy is a welcome reminder of how birds were once (and should remain) nature's great indicators.»
Peter Tate has published several books on ornithology, including Bird, Men and Books: A Literary History of Ornithology and
A Century of Bird Books. When his publisher Anthony Witherby died some years ago, he placed the manuscript of his next book
quietly away on a shelf and there it remained until earlier this year.
