Reader's note

A beautiful vintage nature pocket book of butterflies of the British Isles filled with colour illustrations throughout--a gem among a bounty of stunning vintage books and classic novels on our used book store!

"Few things add more enjoyment to a country ramble than a knowledge of the many and varied forms belonging to the animal and vegetable kingdoms that present themselves to the notice of the observing wayfarer on every side.

Almost every one admires the wild flowers that Nature produces so lavishly, and in such charming variety of form and colour; but, in addition to their own proper florescence, the plants of woodland, meadow, moor, or down have other "blossoms" that arise from them, although they are not one of them. These are the beautiful winged creatures called butterflies, which as crawling caterpillars obtain their nourishment from plant leafage, and in the perfect state help the needs to rifle the flowers of their sweets, and at the same time assist in the work of fertilisation."
