Description

Enlarged and revised second edition of Warde Fowler's bird-watching volume. Better known as an ancient historian he manages to sneak chapters on The Birds Of Virgil and Pigeons Of Ancient Italy in to this volume of ornithological observations, among much else. Toning and foxing early and late, but in general good order otherwise. Curious choice of frontispiece illustration (not a bird). Smart teal cloth boards with bright gilt titling to front, with dulled vellum to spine. This is a charity sale for Friends Of Morston Church (reg.1099831). 12mo. xii, 179pp
