Description

Cut, engraved and hand-painted to resemble a cuckoo feather, this leather bookmark brings the bird’s grey and tan tones and mottled black markings to your reading. Each one is painted by hand, so every bookmark is unique; an especially thoughtful gift for a bird lover.

Why a cuckoo?

We started this series with a selection of our favourite birds, as well as those with a special connection to where we live. The cuckoo has a prominent tale in folklore here in Marsden. There are a few interpretations, but largely, the cuckoo signifies the start of Spring with its distinctive call and appearance at the turn of the season. As such, the denizens of Marsden wished to make this season eternal by building a wall around the cuckoo. In one version of the tale, they forgot the roof; in another, the cuckoo escaped before the final brick was laid.
