Out of Doors by Rev JG Wood. H/C. 342 pp. 1891 Postage R50

Published 1891 by Longmans, Green and Co. (It is not known whether this is the first edition.) The hardcover has scuff marks on the spine and edges. Some inside pages blemished or foxed by age, but most are still spotless. First front flyleaf loose, but binding otherwise sturdy.

"The great Hawk Moths now come dashing along, like the birds from whom they derive their name and whom they resemble in no slight degree while on the wing  darting towards each flower and drinking its sweet contents by inserting their long trunks into its recesses, while they remain hovering in the air." 

A beautiful collection of articles written by a nature lover published in various periodicals. Read about the wood ant, the green crab, toads, wasps and bumble-bees and the abduction of a hippopotamus. With charming black and white engravings.
