This book explores the story of the dodo (Raphus cucullatus) — the extinct bird from Mauritius — and examines why it became a global symbol of extinction. Jan den Hengst combines scientific facts, historical accounts, and artistic reconstructions to tell the tale of how the dodo lived, how it disappeared, and what it represents today.
It features illustrations, photos, and maps, making it both informative and visually appealing. The tone is accessible, blending natural history with art and storytelling rather than strict academic detail.
