This beloved allegorical fable of a seagull learning to fly not just for utility's sake has spoken to the hearts of millions of readers. By author and pilot Richard Bach, Jonathan Livingston Seagull had a slow start when first published, but quickly gained popularity by word of mouth. Part fiction, part spirituality, part philosophy, this novella is supplemented by lovely black and white photographs by Russell Munson, whose interest in photography began at a young age when he started taking pictures of the airplanes in Denver.
