Reviews

'Let me say straight away, how much I welcome this volume. During the past fifty or so years, the number of authors contributing to the critical study of Gilbert White has been extremely few....Dadswell's volume will be of value to the student of White, to the historian of natural history, as also to the behavioural researcher. It is, to use an eighteenth-century term, a performance of merit.' Archives of Natural History 'Digests with a multiplicity of reference sources easily become a word jungle with little lucid flow. Ted Dadswell expertly avoids this problem, and although his book reflects in part a personal journey, his own views embellish an intriguing analysis, assisting in producing a fascinating and readable text. Recommended equally to Selborne devotees and to newcomers.' Ibis '... a valuable addition to the bookshelf of anyone with an interest in the remarkable curate of Selborne.' The Selborne Society Newsletter 'For anyone interested in the writings of Gilbert White, this would make a fascinating read.' Bird Study 'Dadswell gives the reader a warm sense of place.' Isis
