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.
