A Parliament of Owls

Product Information

And do crows deserve their murderous moniker? uk/collections/greetings-cards  Fee's medieval style & a recent trip to Kenya brought the idea of 'A Parliament of Owls' to life. Lewis' version changed 'fowls' to 'owls' and due to the international success of his books it caught on and is now recognised as dictionary compilers as the 'correct' term for a group of owls. Collective nouns are one of the most bizarre and baffling aspects of the English language, and this absorbing book tells the stories of these evocative phrases, exploring and explaining the etymology behind them. Why are geese in a gaggle? Hand-drawn and painted with Indian ink, watercolour and acrylic paint and embellished with sustainability sourced feathers.
