Why read it?
1 author picked The Birds of Shakespeare as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Also known as The Ornithology of Shakespeare, James Edmund Harting published this book in 1871 as a detailed analysis of all the references to birds in Shakespeare’s plays. He shows that to Shakespeare and his audience, birds and field sports were second nature.
