These huge and stately   creatures are part of our urban and rural landscapes, a constant presence on   lakes, rivers and ponds throughout Britain. Yet despite their familiarity,   they are often misunderstood; and while many people love swans, others fear   them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e     Swans also feature in myths and legends, art and literature, dance and   music, not just in Britain but all around the world. Stephen Moss delves into   the facts and fiction about these charismatic birds, describes their seasonal   life cycle and examines their central role in our history and culture. He   also includes stories about 'wild swans' - Whooper and Bewicks - that visit   us in winter; and the Black Swan of Australia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e     \u003cb\u003e'A superb naturalist and writer' Chris   Packham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e     'Moss has carved out an enviable niche as a chronicler of the natural   world' \u003ci\u003eDaily Mail\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56451519316342,"sku":"9781529110371","price":12.84,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_32288822.jpg?v=1760462827","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781529110371-the-swan","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
