Gilbert White

“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.
