FRED SMITH
The Boyhood of a Naturalist. With 6 page Illustrations. 3s. 6d. New Edition.
Few lovers of Nature have given to the world a series of recollections so entertaining, so vigorous, and so instinct with life as these delightful reminiscences. The author takes the reader with him in the rambles in which he spent the happiest hours of his boyhood, a humble observer of the myriad forms of life in field and copse, by stream and hedgerow.
“We cannot too highly recommend the book to all readers.”—Guardian.
