Here, all eight of the world's swan species have been kept and bred since the 1950's. Photographer Gochnauer has produced poetic images, many in buttery evening light, which pair well with uplifting quotes of wonder and appreciation for birds, many from the author. Compelling information on swan biology and behavioral anecdote distinguish the text. As Swan Lake is a gift to the public, this evocative book is a gift to those who may never see it in person. It's lovely to know that, somewhere in South Carolina, all the world's swans can be seen, gliding together." - Julie Zickefoose, author/illustrator of Letters from Eden, The Bluebird Effect, Baby Birds, and Saving Jemima: Life and Love with a Hard-luck Jay.</em> </p><p><br></p><p><br></p><br>
