A Single Swallow: Following an Epic Journey from South Africa to South Wales

Hardcover with dust jacket, both in like-new condition. UK first edition. Previous owner's ex-libris blind stamp.

A journey of 6,000 miles across two continents and 14 countries is nothing to swallows: they do it twice a year. But for a writer and birdwatcher, this is the expedition of a lifetime. By trains, cars, buses, motorbikes, trucks, canoes, planes, one camel and three ships, Horatio Clare follows the journey of the migrating birds.

Magical, inspiring, beautifully written with passion and purpose, A Single Swallow is a thrilling book about the intersection of the natural and the human worlds, sending shivers down the spine and lifting the heart.
