  This is an abridgement of Nan Dunbar's 1995 Oxford edition of Birds, one of Aristophanes' masterpieces (and the source of the word 'Cloudcuckooland'). The introduction and notes retain all the material designed to help the less advanced student of Greek to understand, interpret, and enjoy the play. Aristophanes' references to birds are elucidated in the light of modern ornithological knowledge.
