Cassell's book of birds; vol. 1

Alfred Edmund Brehm and Thomas Rymer Jones

Alfred Brehm wrote about animals as if he had met each one personally, and his birds come alive on the page. This first volume opens the great survey with the passerines: the ravens, the catchers, and the classification that orders them. Vivid Victorian ornithology, richly illustrated. The opening volume of a beloved four-part portrait of the world's birds.
