This lovely reissue of the highly collectible 1974 classic
is a Charley Harper gem. AMMO has carefully restored all the
images and reproduced Birds & Words in its entirety and
in its original format.
A book for every bird lover who knows there is more to
birdwatching than measurements, range maps, flight patterns
and lifetime lists. Birds & Words is a true reflection
of Charley Harper, who was that special species of man with
twinkling eyes and smile, with wit as infectiously keen
and light-hearted as his paintings. Harper the humorist
reads as captivating in the self-composed stories that accompany
his serigraphs as Harper the artist. An active curiosity
prodded him to constantly question nature. “What will
happen,” He asked “if a buzzard, which eats
only dead meat, comes upon a possum, which plays dead when
threatened? The answer has to be that the mild mannered
marsupial will win his Purple Heart – possumously.”
Extending Charley Harper’s beautiful work to a broader
audience, AMMO proudly celebrates this American icon’s
singular style.
BIRDS, WORDS AND MORE
