by Sir Edward Grey (Author)
The great Edwardian statesman Sir Edward Grey was a passionate naturalist, and co-founder of the RSPB. Between 1895 and 1905 he made detailed nature notes at his cottage by a trout stream near Itchen Abbas in Hampshire. The text of his "Cottage Book" forms the basis for this beautiful book, alongside dozens of specially commissioned watercolours, contemporary photographs and woodcuts, and maps. This is a volume that all nature-lovers will treasure.

Book Overview: 'Contemporary photographs, which set the book in its correct historical and geographical context, etchings by Heywood Sumner, and superb watercolours by Philip Snow of the wild birds and animals which cohabited with the Greys in perfect harmony, all combine to make this previously undiscovered gem an absolute must for every country-lovers' library.' COUNTRY LIFE 'As a record of the private passion of a statesman and of a shared love of a married couple for the natural world, the work has infinite charm. As a nature journal, it is exquisitely observed. And the haunting beauty of the world it describes seems somehow to symbolise the way of life that was to vanish forever with the First World War.'
