ROOKHamish Hamilton. 1980
The Rook’s story is told objectively without a trace of sentimentality or anthropomorphism. Here is a painter who sees the world freshly and can communicate what she sees exactly.Times Literary Supplement
Birds and haunting landscape share the visual drama. The text reflects the same meticulous observation. A book to possess.The Observer
The book I am most fond of is ‘Rook’ by Deborah King. A lovely little album about my favourite bird.Jan Morris. Critic’s Choice. The Times
