Moorland Idylls
Grant Allen
A sunning adder, a flight of startled quail, a rabbit going about its worldly business: Grant Allen finds a whole society in the heath outside his door. These short nature essays wander from leafless winter woods to a summer butterfly's brief drama, always curious, always companionable. Gentle science wrapped in fine writing. Ramble the moor with a naturalist who misses nothing.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
