Edité par The Religious Tract Society, London, 1907

A charming work delving into life on English brooks, written with sensitivity by parson-naturalist John George Wood, bound in full red calf. The Brook and Its Banks, a posthumously publsihed work on the life of our brooks and banks, written by the parson-naturalist John George Wood, revised by his son Theodore. Dated 1907 by the previous owner's inscription, first published in The Girl's Own Paper in 1887. In full red calf from Hildersham House, St. Peters. Contains a frontispiece, numerous in-text illustrations, and thirteen plates counted within the pagination. As a parson-naturalist, Wood belived it was part of his religious duty to observe nature and appreciate its beauty, with this particular book taking us through the banks of the English brook. Wood was a popular writer of natural history, and helped boost the subject's appeal during his lifetime. In full red calf. Externally, the odd mark to boards and slight rubbing to joints and edges. Minor rubbing marks to spine, and marginal bumping to the head and tail of the spine, and to the extremities. Red marble end papers are bright and clean. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean, with a couple of small spots to first and last leaves. Very Good. N° de réf. du vendeur 1012N15
