Hard Cover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. New Impression. Dust jacket complete, unclipped. Green cloth with bright gilt titling on spine. No inscription. A foxing spot to page tips. 183 pages. This classic of natural history was first published in 1952, and did much to establish Richard Perry's now world-wide reputation as an observant, sympathetic naturalist and a brilliant writer. The story of the four seasons in the everyday life of the red-deer herds among the historic glens and pine forests of the Grampians, and on the moors and tops of the Cairngorms, is told in lucid, moving and informative style. Richard Perry, like other true naturalists, can put himself in the place of the creatures he studies and can vividly convey to the reader the excitement and achievement of watching their ways, and the impact on man himself of the Highland year in all its moods. Size: 8vo.…

Hard Cover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. First Edition. Dust jacket price clipped. Green cloth with bright gilt titling on spine. Small ownership label. Photographs / Illustrations / Plates. 247 pages clean and tight. The history of river navigations other than the Thames is poorly documented. We now have, however, two excellent ones, Baron F. Duckham's The Yorkshire Ouse and Dorothy Summers' The Great Ouse. These give us the navigation history of two important rivers from the earliest times to the present, and very different they are. Navigation on the Great Ouse, completed to Bedford in the seventeenth century, had to contend for most of the time with powerful drainage interests: only occasionally, as under the South Level Corporation, were the two reconciled. Trade, too, was made more difficult because, right through the river's history from the seventeenth century to our own, navigation rights for most of the river were in private and not in company hands, with the right to charge tolls, except at one place, undefined. All this offers an absorbing and hitherto largely untold story. Dorothy Summers here develops the navigation history of the whole river from Bedford to King's Lynn and the Wash : the river and its tributaries, locks, staunches, bridges and mills, boats and boatmen, set against the endlessly recurrent need for good drainage. The Great Ouse adds greatly to our knowledge of navigation history: it is a book for all waterway enthusiasts, and for those who know and love East Anglia. Size: 8vo.
