Sunny Days: Or A Month At The Great Stowe is a book written by Henry Courteney Selous in 1871. The book is a description of the author’s experiences during a month-long stay at the Great Stowe estate in England. Selous was a naturalist and a keen observer of nature, and his book reflects his love for the outdoors and his passion for wildlife. In Sunny Days, Selous talks about his daily routine at the estate and the various activities he engaged in, such as fishing, hunting, and exploring the countryside. He also describes the flora and fauna of the area in great detail, providing insights into the habits and behaviors of the animals he encountered. The book is written in a conversational style and is filled with anecdotes and personal observations. Selous also includes sketches and illustrations throughout the book to enhance the reader’s understanding of the environment he describes. Sunny Days is a charming and informative book that provides a glimpse into the life and times of a naturalist in the 19th century. It is a must-read for anyone interested in nature, wildlife, and the English countryside.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
