Gilbert White / Marcus Woodward
'White’s Selborne for Boys and Girls' is a classic guide to the birds of Britain, originally written for children. It offers the reader interesting and entertaining anecdotes interlaced with facts and observations from an expert. This wonderfully-written guide is perfect for introducing children to birds and bird watching, and it will also be of interest to adults with an interest in the topic. Contents include: 'Approach to the Village', 'Raven', 'Hind', 'Swift', 'Peregrine Falcon', 'Snipe', 'Hoopoe', 'Bat', 'Harvest Mice', 'Chaffinch', 'Grey Wagtail', 'Weasel', 'Willow-Wren', 'Stone Curlew', 'Viper', 'Green Sandpiper', 'Jackdaw', 'Ring-Ousel', 'Nightingale', 'Chough', 'Wood-Lark', etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction.
