The Company of Owls is a captivating and heartwarming book that explores the enchanting world of tawny owls in the woods above Polly Atkins' home in Grasmere, Cumbria. Written by the author of Some of Us Just Fall, which was longlisted for the Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing, this book invites readers to share in the company of these nocturnal birds and discover the lessons they can teach us about solitude, companionship, care, and belonging. The tawny owls in the woods above Polly Atkins' home in Grasmere, Cumbria, are her neighbors, and each night they come down to her cottage at dusk, calling out as night falls. The author observes the antics of the owl siblings and how they develop their capacity to play, bicker, share, and protect. Through their experiences, the author encourages readers to think differently about the big needs of all our lives, such as solitude and companionship, care and belonging, and rest and retreat. The book also raises questions about all sorts of relationships, from how we feel when in darkness to the homes and connection we so desperately seek. The Company of Owls is a love song to these incredible creatures and a reflection on what makes them and us unique. It is a call to find joy in unexpected places and times and a lesson in learning to listen when all around us seems clamor and noise. Readers have praised the book for its transporting and moving nature, with one reviewer calling it "a beautiful guide to moving through this world with tender curiosity, joy, and reflection." Another reviewer describes it as "a beautiful guide to moving through this world with tender curiosity, joy, and reflection." Sally Huband, author of Sea Bean, describes the book as "a beautiful guide to moving through this world with tender curiosity, joy, and reflection." Overall, The Company of Owls is a delightful and insightful book that will leave readers with a greater appreciation for the natural world and the lessons it can teach us.
