Books with Birds in them

Our feathered friends can be on covers or characters in books. Birds usually mean something strange and gothic is going to happen. They can also be lovely birds who fly around the fictional village they live in and make the characters smile. Two types of birds……which will you choose?

Three Little Birds by Sam Blake

This first one is a bit of a cheat as they’re just in the title.

But, it’s a humdinger of a novel so there you go.

Vita and the Birds by Polly Crosby

There’s a wonderful glass building – the Cathedral of the Marshes – at the heart of the novel. Lots of birds fly around inside and artists paint them, visitors marvel at them. However, there are stories hidden yet to be told…

The Seafarers: A Journey Among Birds by Stephen Rutt

A book about birds with birds on the cover. Double hat trick this one.

A Bird in Winter by Louise Doughty

A Different kind of Bird in this book. Bird is a character – a human one – and she’s on the run.

SwallowTail Summer by Erica James

The novel is set in and around the Norfolk Broads -a lovely scenic place to spend time on a boat birdwatching as this is the very place to discover many breeds.
