From ancient mythologies to modern literature, Sax delves into the history of these intelligent birds, revealing how they have been perceived and revered across time. Crows are often misunderstood as being ungraceful, but their unique appearance belies a remarkable ability to take flight with ease. Sax's book examines the many ways in which crows have been associated with prophecy, love, and spirituality, from the Greeks' invocation of crows as symbols of conjugal love to the corvid deities of the Eskimo. This engaging study will appeal to anyone intrigued by these enigmatic birds, who have captivated human imagination for centuries.
