About This Item
Newton Abbott, Devon, UK: David & Charles. Very Good/Very Good. 1971. New Impression. Hard Cover. 8vo 0715353853 Dust jacket complete, unclipped. Green cloth with bright gilt titling on spine. No inscription. A foxing spot to page tips. 183 pages. This classic of natural history was first published in 1952, and did much to establish Richard Perry's now world-wide reputation as an observant, sympathetic naturalist and a brilliant writer. The story of the four seasons in the everyday life of the red-deer herds among the historic glens and pine forests of the Grampians, and on the moors and tops of the Cairngorms, is told in lucid, moving and informative style. Richard Perry, like other true naturalists, can put himself in the place of the creatures he studies and can vividly convey to the reader the excitement and achievement of watching their ways, and the impact on man himself of the Highland year in all its moods. .
