Hardback. First edition. 160pp. Attractive colour illustrated dust jacket by John Lawrence. Illustrations to chapter headings also by John Lawrence. A year in the countryside: the writer surveys the landscape from the back of his mare Zena and in a year where farmers where plagued by pigeons he also exhibits understanding of what were to become more modern attitudes of environmentalism in his concerns about weed-killers and insecticides. Blue marl boards with gilt titles to spine are very clean and neat. Some foxing to closed page edges and the prelims. the dust jacket is slightly sunned to the spine and to the white back panel has some age toning and dust marks. The illustrated face of the jacket is very clean and bright. Not price clipped.
