Limited edition, number 7 of 150 copies for sale, signed by Bowdler Sharpe and each of the artists. An attractive edition of White's magnum opus. The Natural History and Antiquities of Selborne had its origins in White's correspondence with Daines Barrington and Thomas Pennant, in which they discussed their observations and theories about local flora, fauna and wildlife. White believed in studying living birds and animals in their natural habitat which was an unusual approach at that time, as most naturalists preferred to carry out detailed examinations of dead specimens in the comfort of their studies. This deceptively simple and unpretentious account of natural comings and goings in an eighteenth-century Hampshire parish has come to be regarded as one of the most perfectly realized celebrations of nature in the English language. The American writer J. R. Lowell once described it as 'the journal of Adam in Paradise.' Thank you for your purchase from Sunset Books! Help Promote World Literacy, GIVE a Book as a GIFT!!
