This is a book which might be best placed into its own category of being an 'everything you wanted to know' about the Northern Mockingbird, but never knew enough to ask. Included in the book is not only the usual kind of information on the life history and distribution, but also information on its relationship with man, as cage bird, artistic influence, folklore and myth.Editorials

This is a book which might be best placed into its own category of being an 'everything you wanted to know' about the Northern Mockingbird Mimus polyglottos, but never knew enough to ask. . . . Included in the book is not only the usual kind of information on life history and distribution, but also information on its relationship with man-as cage bird, artistic influence, folklore and myth and as a sort of 'Everyman's hero.' All in all, a unique tribute to an interesting bird.San Antonio Express-News
