The Book of Birds, an illustrated guide to Britain’s threatened bird species by Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris, has been named the Wainwright prize book of the year, according to The Guardian.

The book, described by the newspaper as a twist on classic field guides, profiles 49 threatened British birds. It comes from the creators of The Lost Words, a bestselling earlier collaboration between Macfarlane and Morris.

The Wainwright prizes celebrate nature and travel writing. Alongside the main book of the year award, the prize also recognises a children’s book each year.

This year’s children’s book of the year award went to Otherlands: An Illustrated Journey Through Earth’s Lost Worlds, written by Thomas Halliday and illustrated by Gavin Scott, The Guardian reported.

Further details of the judging process and other shortlisted or longlisted titles were not specified in the available report.
