Beschreibungen
There are 59 species of British butterfly and each one deserves a couple of stunning photographs, some interesting facts about its life cycle and a poem dedicated to it.
Lifelong butterfly lover and poet Jonathan Bradley and his photographer friend Yealand Kalfayan have done just that in this colourful and inspiring book.
Bradley has also included a mini biography of several famous lepidopterists who have left their mark in this radiant world.
This lovely, bright hardback is a feast for the eyes.
