‘The owls are not what they seem’. From ancient Babylon, to Edward Lear’s The Owl and the Pussycat and the grandiloquent, absent-minded Owl from Winnie the Pooh, to David Lynch’s Twin Peaks, owls have woven themselves into the fabric of human culture from earliest times. Beautiful, silent, pitiless predators of the night, possessing contradictory qualities of good and evil, they are enigmatic creatures that dwell throughout the world yet barely make their presence known. In his fascinating new book Owl bestselling author and broadcaster Desmond Morris explores the natural and cultural history of one of nature’s most popular creatures.
