Nous les Oiseaux by Quentin Blake
The French edition of ‘The Life of Birds’, with an introduction by celebrated French author Daniel Pennac.

'I seem to have difficulty keeping birds out of my books, from my illustrated version of Aristophanes' "The Birds" to John Yeoman's "Featherbrains" to Roald Dahl's "The Magic Finger"...

The pictures in The Life of Birds are bigger, broader and more sombre, but no less lively than his much-loved children’s book illustrations. Here Quentin Blake follows in the path of the great illustrators, such as Daumier and Lear, and fabulists like Aesop and La Fontaine. Wonderfully acute observations of how birds behave become a commentary -kindly but penetrating - on human nature.
