COMPANY OF OWLS (HB)

In the woods above Polly Atkin’s home in Grasmere, Cumbria live the tawny owls she calls her neighbours. Each night, they come down to her cottage at dusk, calling out as night falls - in particular a trio of owlets she watches grow from fledglings to young adults. As the antics of the owl siblings develop – along with their capacity to play, bicker, share and protect – they encourage her to think differently about our own needs: solitude and companionship, care and belonging, rest and retreat.
