Encore episode with Ann Parsons! We loved this interview so much that we want to do a repeat!!**The Birds of Dog, an epistolary historical fiction, will take you on a journey through the 1800s, delving into the birth of the first postage stamp, the innovations of photography and telegraph, the rise of temperance and abolitionist movements, and the changing views on using animal parts for adornment. Blending fact and fiction with great care, the story immerses us so completely in the world of bird-loving Boston bluebloods that we can practically feel their passion ourselves. If you're a fan of both historical fiction and nature, this is one podcast you won't want to miss.
