Articles about animals, insects, birds, fish, fossils, fruit, trees, shrubs, etc. by a variety of authors who usually took their own photos. While the text and photos are meant to be educational, the colour paintings add a romantic touch, featuring the gardens of stately homes, labourers in the fields, beautiful coastal sunsets, etc. Truly a lovely set for lovers of nature.
