Description:
Our greatest nature writer explores the myths, legends, history and hidden world of one of our most secretive and masterfully duplicitous animals.




Is there any bird more mysterious than the cuckoo?




It is invariably heard, and not seen. And if seen, it is mistaken for a sharp-winged hawk. The female cuckoo - by a trick that borders on alchemy - is able to disguise its egg as another's. In Greek myth the god Zeus assumed the form of a cuckoo to seduce Hera.




But we forgive the cuckoo its con-artistry, because it is the true herald of spring. It is the bird that uplifts our wintered hearts, with that first two-note 'cuk-koo' unmistakable as it sounds across the country.




In The Curious Life of the Cuckoo, John Lewis-Stempel explains one of nature's greatest enigmas in vivid, lyrical prose, and celebrates this iconic bird.

Good option for people that carry a lot with them
Color: Silver
Very pretty purse for a dressy occasion. I always carry a lot of stuff with me and this actually can fit it. The option to be able to unfold the top to give it more room to put stuff in is fantastic! I love the 2 different strap options as well. It comes in a nice drawstring bag for storage. Very happy with this purchase.
