the collins nature library is a new series of classic british nature writing - reissues of long-lost seminal works. the titles have been chosen by one of britain's best known and highly-acclaimed nature writers, robert macfarlane, who has also written new introductions that put these classics into a modern context. ,adventures among birds is almost a manifesto for the life of birds. hudson's experience of different forms of birdlife is prodigious, and he weaves a thousand small anecdotes together into a rallying call against indifference to the beauty of birds. from childhood memories of his first caged bird and his growing passion for them, slowly growing throughout his adolescence in argentina, to the beauty of the diversity of birdlife in england, hudson's delight at this particular aspect of nature is palpable. it is in his protests against the hunting of birds for sport that his love for birds is most clearly shown. their behaviour towards one another convinces hudson of their friendship, and his powers of observation paint a picture of interaction and emotion between birds that is almost human. adventures among birds is a collection of detailed little pictures of the feathered world and why it matters. told with an unrelenting passion for its subject, hudson's book is sure to draw you in with its countless beautiful descriptions in miniature.
