A heavenly book. Mumble will move you to tears, mostly of laughter, as she flutters her way into your heart. * Jilly Cooper * Unlikely books are often very endearing – this is one such book. An utterly charming work, perhaps best read at night when there are owls about. * Alexander McCall Smith * An engaging, funny and beautifully told memoir. * Choice Magazine * Windrow describes the secret life of owls in a warm and highly readable style. A book to brighten up your day. * The Lady * Anyone who thinks the bond between man and dog or cat is the supreme human-house pet attachment will have to reconsider after reading Martin Windrow’s touching account of the bird who changed his life, a possessive and characterful tawny owl named Mumble who was his domestic companion for 15 action-packed years. -- Liesl Schillinger * The New York Times Book Review *
