"This is a 'White's Selborne' for the young; giving passages from the
original under different headings and side by side, some talk about the
bird or beast referred to; with plenty of illustrations by Mr. J. A.
Shepherd, full of his usual vitality."--_Times._
"We think this volume cannot fail to interest and instruct the
young."--_Field._
"White's 'History of Selborne' is here amplified and explained for young
readers. Mr. Woodward has that gift of humour without which all writing
on nature is a weariness unto the flesh for young readers, and for many
readers who are no longer young. Mr. J. A. Shepherd's illustrations
catch the spirit of the letterpress, and are of a piece with the work
that has made his reputation as an artist."--_Literary World._
