Butterflies On My Mind

This book ranges far beyond the vital matter of conservation. The author's love of her subject, and her total dedication to it, has made it a work that must become a standard reference for every butterfly lover, touching as it does, with enthusiasm and delight, on just about every aspect of the butterfly's life cycle, habitat, feeding and breeding habits, as well as upon the many people, amateur and professional alike, who have been inspired through the ages to become lepidopterists. Butterflies On My Mind is a unique piece of nature writing, combining as it does humour with a deep knowledge of the subject, the evocative style of the artist with the objective accuracy of the scientist. Brian Hargreaves' thirty-two pages of superb full-colour paintings, and many black-and-white line drawings, are not only an essential visual guide to the text but have been designed to promote easy identification, and comparison, of all species
