Description

8vo., First Edition, with a frontispiece, 35 illustrations, 8 diagrams and tables in the text, and endpaper charts; green cloth, backstrip lettered in black, a near fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper, the latter lightly browned at fold-ins. A fascinating account published years before its time. Ordish describes his ownership of Bartons End, a seventeenth-century Kentish farmhouse, and his symbiotic relationships with the numerous and varied living creatures with whom he shares it. Today it must be seen as a proto-conservation landmark. SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION.
