Pelican 1st edition, published 1953.
The Robin was hardly understood when David Lack - Britain's most influential ornithologist - started his scientific observations. This book is a landmark in natural history, not just for its discoveries, but because of the approachable style, sharpened with an acute wit. It reads as fascinatingly today as when it was written.
Condition grading: Very Good. Minor wear to spine ends. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
