Features: This book brings us closer to nature, allowing us to feel the joy from the natural world. It is very likely the best sound book to date introducing bird calls. It is truly amazing that this book quotes so many common yet extraordinarily beautiful descriptions and facts. It showcases an unparalleled talent—the ability to perceive beauty through ears and eyes. It is a book worth reading and appreciating repeatedly. This book is a classic work by the English politician and writer Edward Grey. The author once served as the Foreign Secretary of the United Kingdom and was one of the most prominent and accomplished figures in Britain in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He entered the world of birds as a "countryman" to experience their charm, meticulously observing the habits of many bird species and describing them in highly literary language. The greatest feature of the book lies in its distinctive description of bird calls, as well as its record of seasonal changes within the English-speaking world at the time.
