"Just gorgeous! Join busy parents and owlets in this warm and fascinating introduction to a set of tawny owls living in the place they call home in Cumbria."
A wonderful and inspiring insight into the tawny owls living alongside the author at her home in Grasmere, Cumbria. Slipping from her house and into the surrounding countryside, Polly Atkin locates and then falls in love with her feathered neighbours. I felt as though I learned so much more than I was expecting by walking alongside the author. She is warm and friendly, compassionate and knowledgeable, and due to her willingness to slow down, pay attention, listen and learn, she takes you on the most fascinating journey. She has the ability to write the owls onto the page, so you can picture them in your minds eye. She encourages you to join in, to step outside into the night and send your awareness out into the world. This lovely book isn’t just an introduction to her neighbouring owls, it’s also about our capacity for companionship, understanding our need for peace, and bridging the widening gap between humanity and the natural world around us. This book just had to be a Liz Pick of the Month and a LoveReading Star Book. Stimulating and heartening, The Company of Owls is a highly recommended step into the secrets of the tawny owl.
