Today in picking up random library books because it was available and it seemed like it could be interesting, a whole book about crows for some reason!
I don’t really have a structure for these nonfiction reviews so let’s get into the thoughts. The book is all about crows, but about the things I really care about in terms of crows: Anecdotes of how people interact with them and folklore about the things people thought they were responsible for in the past. There are stories from both Native American myth and Norse, as well as other cultures, which makes for an interesting mix where you can see the parallels in how people used to see them. And, of course, there’s the general stories about how crows are chaos incarnate in very odd and unusual ways.
And I love it.
It’s a quick read and I can definitely recommend it. It is full of really interesting stories and information about crows, how they interact with one another, their environment, and humans specifically. And who doesn’t love to hear more about crows?
