Slightly different bit of news today. Ali Smith’s last book of her “seasonal” quartet: Summer was published in August and, tucked away in it, is an awareness-raising exposition on the common swift in the UK, as penned by Sacha Greenlaw; it is her “favourite bird”. You need to read Autumn, Winter and Spring first though :0) Enjoy!
