| Summary | "The Eagle’s Masque" by Tom Tit is a whimsical collection of verse written in the early 19th century, specifically around the late 1800s. The book presents a satirical masquerade featuring a multitude of birds, each dressed in costumes and engaging in amusing antics. It combines elements of poetry with nature, providing both entertainment and insights into avian behavior, rendered in a manner that appeals to younger audiences. The storyline unfolds during a grand masquerade hosted by Queen Eagle, where birds of all types gather to show off their costumes and partake in merriment. Each character, from the vain Peacock to the bumbling Buzzard, embodies both human traits and avian characteristics, engaging in humorous exchanges and competitive displays. The narrative captures the excitement, confusion, and hilarity of the masquerade through vivid descriptions and clever rhymes, while also providing subtle commentary on vanity, identity, and social dynamics among the feathered guests. Ultimately, the narrative concludes with the gathering settling into a meal, showcasing the quirky interactions that stem from their different habits and tastes.
