Drawing on wonderfully vivid diaries, letters, field notes and contemporary accounts, 'The Greywacke' is a momentous drama of discovery, and an irresistible celebrtion of our wild places. Black cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w illustrations. 280 pages including index.
A lovely copy. White pictorial dustwrapper is slightly scuffed.
