A Victorian clergyman-naturalist takes his children out into the English countryside walk by walk, from April onward, answering their questions about reed-grass, warblers’ nests, wild flowers, insects and pond life. His aim is less to lecture than to teach young people, nine or ten years old, to use their own eyes and find things out for themselves.
A gentle nature-study book for families who like to learn outdoors, with notes that still repay a country stroll. Download the free EPUB.
