Illustrated with the author's superb studies of nature and birdlife....these are more than memoirs. Vivid, sensuous, even poetic, Terry Shortt's writing conjures the world he has met a n d r e p roduced in over a thousand displays for the Royal Ontario Museum, in hundreds of illustrations for twenty books and thousands of sketches and drawings for publications throughout the world....an anecdotal, entertaining celebration of a li fe -l o ng d ev otion to nature by a master of nature lore and illustration."
