    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    This beautiful book celebrates some of the world's most admired and mysterious birds - owls.

    With their wide-eyed, often endearing faces, secretive ways, haunting voices and astonishing super-senses, owls have captivated humankind for centuries.

    The RSPB Pocket Book series celebrates iconic British wildlife and is produced in collaboration with the RSPB. In this beautifully illustrated book, wildlife writer and illustrator Marianne Taylor weaves together biology, mythology and cultural history to explore how owls live - and why they intrigue us so deeply.

    Marianne combines her accessible, engaging text and elegant line illustrations, inviting you to explore the fascinating world of owls with her.

    With Marianne's help, you'll explore the prehistory, habits, life stories, and traditional and modern stories of owls from around the world, with a particular focus on the species of owl found in the British countryside.

    With its blend of captivating content, exquisite artwork and an inspiring conservation message, this is ideal for nature lovers, gift buyers, and anyone enchanted by the quiet beauty - and formidable ferocity - of owls.
