THE WREN: A BIOGRAPHY
Book ID/图书代码： 11320018C00062
English Summary/英文概要： The wren is a paradox of a bird. On the one hand wrens are ubiquitous. They are Britain’s most common bird, with 8.5 million breeding pairs and have by far the loudest song in proportion to their size. They thrive everywhere: from the smallest city garden to remote offshore islands, blustery moors to chilly mountains.
Yet many people, particularly a younger generation, are not sure if they have ever seen a wren. Perhaps because the wren is so tiny, weighing just as much as two A4 sheets of paper, and so busy, always on the move, more mouse than bird.
However wrens have been a mainstay of literary, cultural and popular history – appearing on postage stamps and coins, featuring in nursery rhymes and on greetings cards, in poems and rural ‘wren hunts’.
With beautiful illustrations throughout, this captivating year-in-the-life biography reveals the hidden secrets of this fascinating bird that lives on our doorstep.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《鹪鹩》是一种自相矛盾的鸟。一方面，鹪鹩是无处不在的。它们是英国最常见的鸟类，有850万只繁殖配对，它们的鸣叫声与体型成比例，是迄今为止最响亮的。从最小的城市花园到偏远的近海岛屿，从狂风呼啸的荒野到寒冷的山区，它们到处都在茁壮成长。
然而，许多人，尤其是年轻一代，并不确定他们是否见过鹪鹩。也许是因为鹪鹩太小了，只有两张A4大小的纸那么重，又那么忙碌，总是不停地走动，老鼠比小鸟还多。
然而另一方面，鹪鹩一直是文学、文化和流行历史的支柱——出现在邮票和硬币上，出现在童谣和贺卡上，出现在诗歌和乡村“鹪鹩狩猎”中。
通过美丽的插图贯穿全书，这本迷人的传记揭示了生活在我们家门口的这只迷人的鸟隐藏的秘密。（WYL）
