Cassell's book of birds; vol. 3

Alfred Edmund Brehm and Thomas Rymer Jones

Pheasants, grouse, and the great flightless runners take the stage in Brehm's third bird volume. He describes the gallinaceous birds and the short-winged cursorial species with his usual flair, pairing color plates with lively accounts of habit and haunt. Classic illustrated ornithology. Another generous installment of a set that made bird study a pleasure for ordinary readers.
