Singing Like Larks opens a rare window onto the ancient song
traditions of the British Isles, interweaving mesmerising lyrics,
folklore and colourful nature writing to uncover the remarkable
relationship between birds and traditional folk music. Birds are
beloved for their song and have featured in our own music for
centuries. This charming volume takes us on a journey of discovery
to explore why birds appear in so many folk songs. Today, folk
songs featuring our feathered friends are themselves something of a
threatened species: their melodies are fading with the passage of
time, and their lyrics are often tucked away in archives. It is
more important than ever that we promote awareness of these
precious songs and continue to pass them down the generations.
Lifetimes of wisdom are etched into the words and music, preserving
the natural rhythms of nature and our connection to times
past. An important repository and treasury of bird-related folk
songs, Singing Like Larks is also an account of one
young nature writer’s journey into the world of folk music, and a
joyous celebration of song, the seasons, and our love of birds.
