It is the time of the gloaming, the owl-light.

They are creatures of the night, and thus of magic. They are the birds of ill-tidings, the avian messengers from the Other Side.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut owls - with the sapient flatness of their faces, their big, round eyes, their paternal expressions - are also reassuringly familiar. We see them as wise, like Athena's owl, and loyal, like Harry Potter's Hedwig. Human-like, in other words.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo other species has so captivated us. In The Secret Life of the Owl, John Lewis-Stempel explores the legends and history of the owl. And in vivid, lyrical prose, he celebrates all the realities of this magnificent creature, whose natural powers are as fantastic as any myth.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"purchaseBlock\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wrap\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-ean=\"9780857524560\" class=\"singleTitleContainer\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pricing\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Winstones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35022898528409,"sku":"9780857524560","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0423\/0240\/6809\/products\/9780857524560.jpg?v=1602536056","url":"https:\/\/winstonebooks.pro\/products\/9780857524560","provider":"Winstone's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
