Description
DARKLING, THE OWL’S SONG: book
‘Acclaimed poet and visual artist Catherine Hyde invites readers on a mesmerising nocturnal journey in this exquisite gift book. Through a series of captivating full-colour paintings, Hyde chronicles the owl’s nightly sojourn, unveiling the enchanting world that awakens as we slumber.
From the moment twilight descends until the first light of dawn, the forest comes alive with a symphony of nocturnal activity. Witness the owl’s silent flight, moths dancing in moonbeams, and fireflies mimicking celestial bodies. Observe a stag grazing in the shadows, badgers burrowing beneath the earth, and foxes prowling through the undergrowth. Marvel at the delicate ferns adorned with glistening dew.
Hyde’s stunning artwork is complemented by her original poetry, creating a harmonious blend of visual and literary artistry. This remarkable tome promises to captivate readers, immersing them in the mysterious and magical realm of nighttime creatures.’ Sherlock and Pages
Pairing stunning art with lyrical poetry, this ode to the owl is deeply compelling on multiple levels: Barnes and Noble
‘Darkling is a magnificent praise song that honours both the darkness and the owl. Lyrical in both word and image, it is a wild triumph.’ Jackie Morris
‘A beautiful, poetic love letter to the owl and the world it inhabits. This delightful book would suit adults and children alike with its evocative poetry creating such strong visual imagery you can almost hear the dormouse rustling and smell the damp mossy woodland. The illustrations are stunning and perfectly ethereal. A lovely gift for anybody who appreciates art, poetry and nature or all three.’
