Written by Jane Russ, The Owl Book is far more than just another title on the subject, collecting its surrounding myth, legend, art and literature in fascinating detail. This includes some new poetry, a specially written short story from acclaimed writer Jackie Morris and an eclectic range of images of owls in paintings, print, sculpture, ceramics and even leather-work.
