Shakespeare's Birds

Shakespeare Knew His Birds. All 64 of Them.

Across his plays and poems, Shakespeare referenced 64 species of birds on 606 occasions. Someone was paying attention — and that someone was illustrator Rebecca Harris, who has gathered them all into one stunning 1000-piece circular puzzle. Each species is captioned in her distinctive hand lettering, and a bird-themed quotation from As You Like It runs around the circumference.

The kind of puzzle that's genuinely beautiful to look at before you've placed a single piece — and even more so once it's done. Rich colours, strong composition, and enough literary detail to keep a Shakespeare enthusiast happily distracted for hours.
