From Shakespeare's 'feathr'd king' to Ted Hughes 'butterfly lightness', of swifts, this is a collection which celebrates the wonder we experience in the flight of a bird, be it sparrow or kestrel, raven or owl, robin or blackbird. 60 best-loved poems include work by Shelley, Poe, Longfellow and Keats, accompanied by the beautiful illustrations by Ryuto Miyake.
