“He who shall hurt the little wren

Shall never be beloved by men.”

William Blake, Auguries of Innocence

Following in the footsteps of The Robin: A Biography, The Wren: A Biography is a wonderfully charming and beautifully bound book taking us through the year in the life of Britain’s most common and loudest in proportion to its size bird. Living both in our gardens and in remote locations across the nation, this tiny bird, weighing no more than roughly 2 sheets of A4 paper, has been popular in our cultural and literary history for many a year.
