Wild Air, written by James Macdonald Lockhart, was a delight to read. As someone who loves birdwatching and painting birds, I found this book packed with peculiar and fascinating information that inspired me with many ideas for my artwork. Each chapter delves deep into the world of one bird, and I loved how the author painted a vivid picture of the surroundings where he observed these birds. The way he writes is simply beautiful! The facts on the history of skylarks were particularly intriguing, and I feel like I learned a lot. I would like to express my gratitude to the author and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an advanced copy. It was truly a treat for both the soul and mind!
