Product Description

Review

An ambitious work more than ably executed by Professor Stefan Buczacki. Although graduating in botany, his first love was zoology, ignited by his childhood in a Derbyshire village. He spent many years in research before becoming a well-known radio and television star and popular garden writer from whence he has earned a well-deserved reputation for solid horticultural advice accompanied by a dry, erudite wit. "Fauna Britannica" is a celebration and history of Britain's relationship with its wildlife. From invertebrates and fish on the seashore to amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals, Buczacki explores their evolution, their relationship with man - occasionally good, occasionally bad - and their place in myth, legend and folklore. Superbly illustrated and informatively written in an easy-to-understand style, this is an invaluable reference for all the family, educating readers in our natural heritage and teaching us how to preserve it for generations to come. - Lucy Watson


The Independent Magazine - 10th August 2002

'Buczacki wins in the folklore stakes'. 'Above all Buczacki scores with his lists of local names.'

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and intriguing, 8 Aug 2006
By Mr. R. Fisher "vinylrichie" (Surrey, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book(NOT written by Prince Charles, he only wrote the introduction) is an absolute gem. Packed with illustrations and stunning photographs, the book takes us on a journey through how animals have contributed to our heritage and folklore. Such as why certain place names are named after animals, how myths came to be attached to them and why various species are revered and some reviled.
This book will enable you to look at our diverse array of nature in an altogether different way. Different from most compendiums on the subject, I would heartily encourage anyone with an interest in animals and/or folklore to own this book and cherish it.
