Publisher's Synopsis
D J Melville is a natural author and storyteller, outdoorsman, teacher, and lover of nature. In this charming book, he recalls all his most significant encounters with the natural world and its wildlife. In so doing, he lays a foundation for an interest in the conservation of our natural heritage in current and future generations. He also shows us how important it is to be aware of all the natural life that surrounds us every day, whether we live in an urban or rural environment. I would recommend this book as compulsory reading in schools, to teach the children at their most impressionable age how important and beautiful nature is to all of us here on Earth.
