“Col. Stanford has had exceptional opportunities since the War to watch the return of our Avocets and has helped to protect them during the nesting season. His tense, well-written tale is beautifully illustrated by A. M. Hughes, who knows East Anglia and the marsh-birds well. This is a story in the best tradition of English nature-writing, and is described by Sir William Beach-Thomas as: ‘The best bird-protection story I have ever read, a model worth of comparison with the The Snow Goose’.”
Overall Condition – Very Good.
