About This Novel
This book starts with the crows in the Tower of London and shows the dramatic changes in our attitude toward crows and the entire natural world over the centuries. It also demonstrates the unique charm of crows in Anglo-Saxon culture, thus linking the history of Britain from the Middle Ages to modern times. Through vivid and interesting historical and cultural stories, the author reveals how our thinking and culture are influenced and defined by crows. In today's Britain, it not only serves as a symbolic existence, but also has become a "magical bird" related to the national destiny. At the same time, in British culture, it is also a metaphor for the spirit of strong survival in difficulties. In the process of protecting it, humans also protect their own culture and traditions.
