First and foremost a naturalist, 'BB' is recognised now as one of the greatest wildlife writers of the Twentieth Century. This record of his journey to some of the wilder parts of Britain is a fascinating treasuretrove for those who love the West of Scotland and those who are fascinated by wildlife. His inimicable drawings and scraperboard illustrations, in his own name of Denys Watkins-Pitchford, decorate and enhance the text.
