"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.
