A New Book from Sibella Court, Australia's Bowerbird

Native to remote rain forests of Northern Australia and New Guinea, the humble bowerbird spends his time collecting items of rare beauty and arranging them to add character to his home. Celebrated stylist Sibella Court can relate.

In Bowerbird, Court—the best-selling author of Etcetera and Nomad—once again imparts her personal secrets of eclectic style, this time with a complete guide to collecting and collections.
