Reviews

""The increasing accessibility and development of ornithology cannot be viewed through written word alone; art and avian study go hand in hand - and Bingham highlights the role of illustrators well. This attractive hardback features illustrations of the authors, artists and works it discusses on almost every page, with descriptive captions complementing the text... this is a book that should appeal to anyone wanting to better understand our long-established relationship with birds and the people who have progressed that relationship throughout history."" -- Hannah Lilly * Birdlife, Oct-Dec 2026 *


Author Information

Charlie Bingham is a UK based nature writer and author of The Life Affirming Magic of Birds. After completing a degree in archaeology at the University of York, Charlie began to reconnect with nature in her mid 20's. She found that birds especially seemed to have the ability to help her through difficult times and made it her life's mission to share her love and passion with a wide audience. Charlie's passion for the natural world shines across her social media platforms and in her work as a digital communications specialist and event manager for nature based charities. Charlie has written for various platforms and publications including Conker Magazine, Bird Table, The Guardian and Bald Hiker.
