About this product
Product Information
Owls have existed for over sixty million years, and in the relatively short time we have shared the planet with these majestic birds they have ignited the human imagination. But even as owls continue to captivate our collective consciousness, celebrated British nature writer Miriam Darlington finds herself struck by all she doesn't know about the true nature of these enigmatic creatures. Darlington begins her fieldwork in the British Isles with her teenage son, Benji. As her avian fascination grows, she travels to France, Serbia, Spain, Finland, and the frosted Lapland borders of the Arctic for rare encounters with the Barn Owl, Tawny Owl, Long-eared Owl, Pygmy Owl, Snowy Owl, and more. But when her son develops a mysterious illness, her quest to understand the elusive nature of owls becomes entangled with her search for finding a cure. In The Wise Hours, Darlington watches and listens to the natural world and to the rhythms of her home and family, inviting readers to discover the wonders of owls alongside her while rewilding our imagination with the mystery, fragility, and magnificence of all creatures.

Lyrical and captivating. . . . heartfelt, enchanting, and beautifully written., A lyrical examination of the interweaving place owls hold in nature and human culture; Darlington writes with intimacy and beauty., ""While tracing the history and science of owls, the author must confront another haunting enigma: her son's mysterious illness."", Darlington brings humor, humility, and a refreshing subjectivity to her quest to understand these charismatic creatures., Flights of poetic prose raise a shiver. . . . proves we don't need life lessons to appreciate the world's marvels., Lovely. . . . An excellent read. . . . Whether dissecting owl pellets, collecting strange samples or braving the elements (or her own foibles), Darlington brings a sense of wonder to her writing.
