The Book of the Countryside – F. Martin Duncan and Lucy T. Duncan

Adapted from the blurb: "Here at last is a nature book with an appeal for all children. Martin and Lucy Duncan have written what must certainly be one of the most comprehensive and thrilling books of this description.

The wonderful microscopic workings of nature are revealed for the first time to the town-dwelling child, while to the child who lives in the country, ordinary everyday occurrences in the garden take on a new significance."

Illustrated throughout with beautiful colour plates and high-quality b&w photographs.
