Wild Nature Won By Kindness

The Animal World

Eliza Brightwen, a popular Victorian-era naturalist, re-counts her many experiences with the wild creatures she encountered on her English estate. She devotes a chapter to each animal describing their behavior and how she won their trust. Brightwen clearly has a special connection with birds as many chapters are devoted to her feathered friends. The book is both informative and entertaining, providing details about each animal in a heart-felt tale.

First published in 1890, this edition is derived from the 5th edition with 63 black & white illustrations. As always, this edition is complete and unabridged.
