Crow
Sax, Boria2017
Book
Though not generally perceived as graceful, crows are remarkably so - a single curve undulates from the tip of the bird's beak to the end of its tail. They take flight almost without effort, flapping their wings easily and ascending into the air like spirits. 'Crow' by Boria Sax is a celebration of the crow and its relatives in myth, literature and life. Sax takes readers into the history of crows, detailing how in a range of cultures, from the Chinese to the Hopi Indians, crows are bearers of prophecy.
