Slight rubbing and creasing at the extremities commensurate with age and handling. Back panel of dustwrapper discoloured (being a white background). ***176 pages. 196mm x 138mm. ***'About this book --- High up on the moors, a deserted hut, a hidey hole--but whatever its name, always a place full of exciting possibilities and now the home of our newest "Romany". From there, all spring and summer, Romany, Raq and Tim watch the curlews' return from the coast, the early comings and goings of buzzards, kestrels and corncrakes, the setting up of the birds' domestic life. Soon, too, Raq is sniffing out secret homes in grassy holes, in nooks and crannies among the rocks, and, like us, he is loth to leave the heather and the long happy days with his friends.' (Quote taken from the back panel of the dustwrapper) ***'The Rev. George Bramwell Evens (15 Feb 1884 - 20 Nov 1943) was, under the pseudonym "Romany" (and sometimes "The Tramp"), a British radio broadcaster and writer on countryside and natural history matters - quite possibly the first to broadcast on such issues. He was also a Minister of the Methodist Church. He is most famous for his Out with the Romany radio programmes (later Out with Romany), which commenced in 1933 on the BBC's Children's Hour, describing travels in his vardo (Romany wagon), with Comma the horse, his English Cocker Spaniel Raq, and his young friends Muriel and Doris. Although the programmes were all pre-scripted and performed entirely in the studio, the impression given was of Romany and his friends going for a walk in the countryside and spontaneously discussing the plants and animals they came across. The Romany Society, originally formed in 1943, disbanded in 1965, and re-founded in 1996, celebrates his life and work, with regular newsletters and an annual magazine. Its patron is Terry Waite. The BBC radio programmes were all broadcast live, and only one recording survives - dated October 1943, just a month before his death.

The white areas of the spine and back panel are slightly marked and stained. ***168 pages. 200mm x 142mm. ***'About this book --- Once again the trio, Romany, Raq and Tim, go out into the countryside and see the intimate lives of Silver and Shad and their badger cubs, Quill the Mallard, Falk the Merlin and Rick the Stickleback, Plume the Woodcock and Lank the Heron. Whilst following the adventures of these, Romany continually points out all the interesting things which young folk want to know about the birds and animals. In fact after reading this and the Romany books one knows what to look for in the country. It is written with the same charm and fascination which the author displays when broadcasting in the famous "Out with Romany" series. The sketches by Reg. Gammon and the half-tone plates are a continuous delight.' (Quote taken from the back panel of the dustwrapper) ***'The Rev.
