A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from The Bantam Fowl: A Description of All Standard Breeds and Varieties of Bantams, and of New Breeds That Are Becoming Popular

So much has been said and written within the last few years about Bantams that it would be 'quite impossible to say much of them that has not been previously stated. In compiling this volume, the author has gone through many books, written letters of inquiry to fanciers all over the world, and talked with every one known to him who knew aught of the subject. Facts thus obtained, together with those coming under his own personal observation, are herein recorded for the benefit of the reader.
