ABOUT
This volume acts as a biographical anthology designed to bring the nature writings of British statesman Sir Edward Grey back into public accessibility.

Part II compiles his most celebrated observations, drawn primarily from his 1927 bestseller, The Charm of Birds
Selected and introduced by Jan Karpinski.
With woodcut illustrations throughout by Robert Gibbins.
