This book provides, in compact form, and at a wonderfully cheap price [six shillings], a full introduction to the varied Fauna and Flora of Great Britain. The authors who contribute to it are a guarantee of its value and interest. Miss Frances Pitt and Mr. Seton Gordon, on Animal and Bird Life respectively, need no introduction. Mr. E. G. Boulenger, of the London Zoo Aquarium, writes on Reptiles and Pond Life, Mr. L. C. Bushby, also of the Zoo, on Insects, Mr. St. Barbe Baker, of the 'Men of the Trees,' on Trees and Shrubs, and Mr. R. Gathorne-Hardy, expert botanist as well as novelist on Flowers and Plants. Mr. Henry Williamson of Tarka the Otter fame, contributes a compère's introduction. There are over 140 illustrations, with a colour frontipiece, chosen from the work of many able photographers, not only as vivid depictions of Nature life, but also as first-rate artistic studies. These pictures form a unique series that will provide endless enjoyment for everyone who appreciates the life of the country.
