| Description | 1991, 215 pages, extensively illustrated with colour and black and white pictures, d/w, Doubleday. In this informal and informative auto-biographical anthology, Miriam Rothschild follows the trail of wings through history, art, science, and literature to give us delightfully eccentric compilation. A magical journey ...writings and stories. Doves, the symbol of the spirit, and butterflies, the symbol of the soul. Obscure poems, fine paintings, rare prints and ancient works brought together in an amazingly erudite and engaging style. |
