Reader's note

With a decorative green and gold cover, this marvellous antique book is a fantastic addition to any home collection. This wonderful tome tells the reader all about the many aquatic creatures that make the British Isles their home. In this extract we learn about the Sturgeon - Is of noble proportions, attaining sometimes a length of 18 feet and weighing many hundred weights. Frank Buckland received one taken in a deep sea trawl off Heligoland, and prepared a mould for making a cast of it. He was prevented by illness from finishing his work, but he has left it on record that this specimen measured 11 feet 4 inches in length and weighed 623lb. - one doesn't think of a sturgeon getting to that size! With full colour plates throughout and so many fascinating facts to read, this book can take pride of place in any reference library.
