The perfect gift for nature lovers, in this beautifully illustrated small format hardback, John Lewis-Stempel delves into the cuckoo`s unique behaviour and captivating role in our cultural imagination, in folklore, myth, literature and music, turning his exquisite prose to one of the strangest tales of the countryside.---Is there any bird more mysterious than the cuckoo?It is invariably heard, and not seen. And if seen, it is mistaken for a sharp-winged hawk. The female cuckoo - by a trick that borders on alchemy - is able to disguise its egg as another`s. In Greek myth the god Zeus assumed the form of a cuckoo to seduce Hera.But we forgive the cuckoo its con-artistry, because it is the true herald of spring. It is the bird that uplifts our wintered hearts, with that first two-note `cuk-koo` unmistakable as it sounds across the country.In The Curious Life of the Cuckoo, John Lewis-Stempel explains one of nature`s greatest enigmas in vivid, lyrical prose, and celebrates this iconic bird.---`That John Lewis-Stempel is one of the best nature writers of his generation is undisputed.` - Country Life`His immense, patient powers of observation - along with a flair for the anthropomorphic - mean he is able to offer a portrait of animal life that`s rare in its colour and drama.` - Observer`Engaging, closely-observed and beautiful ... this author`s deep love of the world around him is as inspiring as it is entertaining.` - Daily Mail`John Lewis-Stempel is the hottest nature writer around.` - Spectator`It`s his observation of the natural world - the sight, the sound, the smell of it - that is so memorable. He has a distinctively brisk, muscular style of writing that has a poetic intensity and concision. - Guardian`His prose is immaculate` - Der Spiegel`Lewis-Stempel sees and hears things others will never see and hear, and he can write about them as no one else can.`- Daily Mail: Summer Reads
