The crow is a remarkably graceful bird: a single curve runs from the tip of its beak to the end of its tail, which changes rhythmically as it turns its head or bends toward the ground. It takes flight effortlessly, ascending like a spirit to glide over the earth.This book considers crows, ravens, magpies, and their relatives in myth, literature, and life. It ranges from Noah's raven through Victorian novels to recent films. It will be of interest to anyone who has ever been intrigued, puzzled, annoyed, or charmed by these wonderfully intelligent birds.Boria Sax is a lecturer in literature at Mercy College in Dobbs Ferry, New York, and the founder of the organization Nature in Legend and Story (NILAS).
