The cover features a painting called Barn Owl by the artist/author Alouette Deryn and is part of a collection of journals that celebrate the joy of bird watching. The painting and the poem below inspired by the old wives tales superstitions surrounding owls. A barn owl is better than a rat, an old woman would say. Bright yellow eyes shine against the night, and the owl sits high in the barn and discovers. An owls egg treats alcoholism an old woman would say, and eat an owls egg raw, child, for it will protect you in the future. She would say if you are wise, you will cook an owls egg, and if you are wise, you may burn it. Old wifes tales are telling -- aren't they?
