"Bill Benton's quirky and comical birds are far more bird-like than most portraits rendered by heavier hands."--Peter Matthiessen "If Arisophanes' frogs had wings, this is the book they'd be."--James Salter.

"Birds" is a playful and intriguing collection of the author's observations and take-offs on the names, habits, and environments of various birds. Each page is a visual pun, an arrangement of letters making a picture as inclusive as the proverbial thousand words. Birders, poets, artists, teachers, children, typesetters, take special note. This book is unique, and magical.
