A delightful new small-format collection of Carry Akroyd's birds of the month linocut artworks

Carry Akroyd is a painter and printmaker living in Northamptonshire. Landscape and wildlife are her usual subjects, and as a keen bird-noticer, birds usually fly into her artworks. Accidentally becoming an illustrator, Carry has created black-and-white and colour illustrations for poetry collections, natural history books and many book covers. Her prints illustrate the long-standing Bird of the Month column in The Oldie, written by John McEwen. Carry and John's first book, A Sparrow's Life's as Sweet as Ours, was published by Bloomsbury in 2019.
