The Curious Book of Birds

By Abbie Farwell Brown

As one can guess from the title, 'The Curious Book of Birds' is a book about birds—-however, it isn't a scientific treatise on the animal. Rather, it is a collection of short stories that feature birds as central characters. The stories are collected from folktales worldwide, and include the following titles: 'The Forgetful Kingfisher' from Germany, 'The Masquerading Crow' from Russia, 'Why the Nightingale Wakes' from France, 'The Phoenix' from Egypt, and 'The Owl and the Moon' from Malaysia.
