The Language of Birds

In the early days of the world, elders, men, dwarfs, and giants search for meaning in a landscape that is rich yet desolate. Two birds, Farseer and Widefaring, tell stories about what they may have seen. These are tall tales from the Old North. You may want to visit the places where these stories are set, and you may think you can find them.

The magical legends that make up Ian Cumpstey's first published fiction book tell stories of love and loss, discovery and homecoming, and touch on the nature of storytelling itself.

With illustrations by the author.

Paperback, 178 pages. Published 2025.
