“Simon Drew tells us that most “people are unaware of some of the extraordinary properties possessed by birds.  This group of the animal kingdom is such a strange collection of beasts that they could never have been invented by any human being.”
One human being, Simon Drew, sees them in a different light from most people.  He perceives the way that birds have entered out thoughts and out language and he uses both his expert ability as an artist and his superbly inventive humour and verse to show them to us in a way that we would never have seen them for ourselves.”
