This is an exciting, unusual book, alive with animals and animal encounters, and also with suggestions on how young people today can find and study wild life for themselves - even if they live in towns. It is lavishily illustrated, but it is much more than a picture nook. All the contributions have been written sepcially, and all have a tale to tell - and the pictures and their captions are part of that tale. As well as providing the introductions and talking about his experiences as a zoo-keeper, Johnny Morris contributes a hilarious piece op talking birds. Ketih Shackleton writes on drawing birds and has many practical ides for the young naturalist. Ernest Neal tells us how to watch animals at night. Leslie Jackman walks along the tide-line, and Phil Drabble writes about the day-to-day problems of running a sanctuary for animals and birds. Tony Soper tells us about pigeons and people; and there are many more. Illustrated. 160 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).…
