"It's all in the eyes: those magnificent piercing optics are what make all owls look like they are deep in concentrated scrutiny and steeped in long-lost knowledge."
--Matt Swell
With their big round eyes and intense gaze, owls have long captured our hearts and imaginations. Here, charming images of these mysterious nocturnal raptors are presented with an inspiring compendium of wise words and wits throughout the ages. The pairing of quotations and images will turn even the grumpiest frown upside down. Wisdom of Owls makes the perfect present for a forlorn friend, a perky pal, a loved one or even yourself -- no matter what the mood.
People quoted include Toni Morrison, C.S. Lewis, Maya Angelou, Abraham Lincoln and, one of the great invokers of owls, William Shakespeare.
"Those who are easily shocked should be shocked more often."
--Mae West
Make somebody smile today -- with the delightful Wisdom of Owls.
