"Love this book very much… it’s very clever and beautifully crafted. It’s a treasure. Chris Packham

It is a totally wonderful book in so many ways – really original. I felt my brain had been given a little swim in spa water after reading it. It’s just LOVELY.”  Nicola Davies, zoologist and award-winning author

Simply beautiful!” Viv White

"Truly unique, somewhere between art, atlas, bird book and poetry. I smiled when I held it and turned the pages.”

"It slowed me down. I felt calm. It is like meditation.”

A celebration of winter, of birds and buildings, overheard conversations and stories, quiet places and busy streets.

It Started With The Starlings has been a labour of love since 2004, when I produced the first prints that appear in these pages. I'm proud of how it feels to hold in my hand and to read and take in. 

I love an old atlas and had this in mind for this book, so it is quite a big book at just under 21x30cm and 124 pages. It's pretty heavy too which I'm strangely pleased about. The paper is lovely and thick and untreated so it has a nice matt feel.

The book is printed by a company who seem to have a really good approach to their environmental and sustainability responsibilities.

Your book will be sent carefully packaged in a strong cardboard book mailer and with my sincere gratitude.

Thanks

Chris
