Originally published in the 1900s, this is a delightful collection of
quirky, yet learned, articles on anmals and nature, that were written
for the pages of Country Life, The Times and The New Statesman amongst
others. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to
the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly
expensive. Home Farm Books are republishing these classic works in
affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and
artwork. Contents Include Life In A Pine Wood Hints To Adder-Seekers
