A wonderful vintage copy of The Observer's Book of Butterflies by W. J. Stokoe. This fascinating volume describes in simple terms the various species of butterfly that can be found in Britain, including tips on identifying both the butterfly and caterpillar stages of their lives as well as hints on collecting and an overview of a butterfly's life-cycle. Accompanying the text are illustrations in both full colour and black-and-white to assist the reader in identification. A delightful book that any lover of nature, regardless of experience, will appreciate.
