Abstract
WITH the multitude of readable books which now exist on British birds, it is almost a reproach to be without a knowledge of bird-life. In this dainty volume the characteristics and habits of birds, and the curiosities of bird-land, are pleasingly described: The book is not an exhaustive treatise, but a collection of word-pictures drawn by the author in various parts of the British Isles. It is simple-worded; nevertheless, it is instructive, and it will lead its readers to look about them so as to see for themselves how interesting are the works of nature. The book would be a very acceptable present for a boy with a taste for natural history.
