Magical, moving and as lyrical as its subject, The Nightingale pays homage to the eponymous songbird and the inspiration it has yielded to musicians, artists and writers since time immemorial. Folk musician and conservationist Sam Lee charts the story this fascinating bird – from its ornithological characteristics to its frequent appearances in mythology and art – in this gorgeous celebration of nature and creativity.
