by RichardMabey (Author)
Despite being the most celebrated songbird in the western world, the real nightingale is a drab-coloured migrant. Mabey examines why humans have so often fallen under its spell; how it came to inspire the Romantic poets; and what this tells us about our own responses to place and season.
