The unsettling story of a young woman's descent into mental illness, from the author of The Haunting of Hill House and We Have Always Lived at the Castle. 'An amazing writer' Neil Gaiman Elizabeth Richmond is almost too quiet to be believed, with no friends, no parents, and a job that leaves her strangely unnoticed. But soon she starts to behave in ways she can neither control nor understand, to the increasing horror of her doctor, and the humiliation of her self-centred aunt. As a tormented Elizabeth becomes two people, then three, then four, each wilder and more wicked than the last, a battle of wills threatens to destroy the girl and all who surround her. The Bird's Nest is a macabre journey into who we are, and how close we sometimes come to the brink of madness. Shirley Jackson's chilling tales of creeping unease and casual cruelty have the power to unsettle and terrify unlike any other. She was born in California in 1916. When her short story The Lottery was first published in The New Yorker in 1948, readers were so horrified they sent her hate mail; it has since become one of the most iconic American stories of all time. Her first novel, The Road Through the Wall, was published in the same year and was followed by five more: Hangsaman, The Bird's Nest, The Sundial, The Haunting of Hill House and We Have Always Lived in the Castle, widely seen as her masterpiece. Shirley Jackson died in her sleep at the age of 48. 'The world of Shirley Jackson is eerie and unforgettable ... It is a place where things are not what they seem; even on a morning that is sunny and clear there is always the threat of darkness looming, of things taking a turn for the worse' - A. M. Homes Shirley Jackson is unparalleled as a leader in the field of beautifully written, quiet, cumulative shudders' - Dorothy Parker 'Shirley Jackson is one of those highly idiosyncratic, inimitable writers ... whose work exerts an enduring spell' - Joyce Carol Oates

WHAT is there about a bird's nest that touches us so nearly? 'lhat it is coyly hidden or frankly inaccessible, hard to find or impossible to reach, is a factor, but there is more than the pique of an accepted challenge in the pleasurable start with which your average man spies a nest. Nor will the extreme beauty of many eggs account for our interest--(a Kingfisher's, when fresh laid, is a big, glossy bead of pale pink Sicilian coral). No, the impulse is not æsthetic; it is more deeply rooted in our past than the sense of beauty, is probably an inheritance from low-browed, hairy ancestors who collected eggs for their intrinsic merits. Most of us are sensible to the fascination; few country-bred men, or women, are quite immune. When the spring moves in the blood and the young leaf is unfolding there are days when we would not go bail for a bishop. 'Tis a primordial instinct, our lemuroid forefather reaches a predatory black finger down through uncounted centuries, and prods us on to a quest which once was his.Upon birds' eggs much has been written; the nest has attracted less attention; it is a subject which promises little in the way of definite conclusions; it bristles with contradictions and theorisers have walked wide of it.Mr. Charles Dixon has written a book upon the science of nests; Caliology, he calls it, a book of near three hundred pages, in which, after preliminary remarks upon birds which make no nest at all, those which appropriate the labours of others, and those few aberrants of which the Cuckoo is the type, the breeding arrangements of birds are classified as Crude Nest-Forms, Concealed or Covered Nests, Open, Domed, and Pendulous Nests.

Southeast Asia is renowned for birds' nests and the bird's nest trade. A bird's nest is often referred to as "White Gold" or "the Caviar of the East." In Birds' Nests: Business and Ethnicity in Southeast Asia, Kasem Jandam explores the history of using birds' nests and outlines key aspects of the business: consumption and its impact on ecology and the environment, market innovations, and the legal system related to public, private, community, and nonexclusive economic nesting resources. This book also discusses the trade and relationships among ethnic groups and the influence of Hong Kong's bird's nest market on the bird's nest business in Thailand and Southeast Asia.

Bird Nests and Construction Behaviour provides a broad view of our understanding of the biology of the nests, bowers and tools made by birds. It illustrates how, among vertebrates, the building abilities of birds are more impressive and consistent than for any other builders other than ourselves, yet birds seem to require no special equipment, and use quite uncomplicated behaviour. In doing so, the book raises general issues in the field of behavioural ecology including the costs of reproduction, sexual selection and the organisation and complexity of behaviour. Written for students and researchers of animal behaviour, behavioural ecology and ornithology, it will nevertheless make fascinating reading for architects and engineers interested in understanding how structures are created by animals.

In this retelling of an old English folktale featuring birds native to the U.S., Magpie patiently explains to the other birds how to build a nest.
