“It’s all in the eyes: those magnificent piercing optics are what make all owls look like they are deep in concentrated scrutiny and steeped in long-lost knowledge” —Matt Swell

With their big round eyes that gaze out intensely, owls have long captured our hearts and imaginations. Here, charming images of these mysterious nocturnal raptors are presented with an inspiring compendium of the wise words of wits throughout the ages.

Wisdom of Owls makes the perfect present for a forlorn friend or perky pal, a low loved one or even yourself — no matter what the mood.

People quoted include Toni Morrison, C.S. Lewis, Maya Angelou, Abraham Lincoln and, one of the great invokers of owls, William Shakespeare.
