BOOK OF BEASTS: RECLAIMING ANIMAL WISDOM (HB)

A modern bestiary with an ancient heart. Meet twelve emblematic animals, including the bear deities, Artio and Artaius; the salmon of wisdom, which gifts understanding of past, present and future; the Lion Man carved 40,000 years ago. Steeped in folklore, mythology, magic and religion, The Book of Beasts tells the story of our shifting relationships with animals, from reverence to persecution, friendship to fear, awe to indifference. It asks us what we know about the creatures we share this world with - and offers a different way of living together.
