Cassell, London, 1964, first edition.. 121 pp, small 8vo (7 1/2" H), hard cover in dust jacket. One of the 'Red Lion Lives' series. B&w photographs. "After studying art at the Munich and the Royal Academy schools, (Peter Scott) went to live in a converted lighthouse in Lincolnshire. T. here he fell under the spell of the wild geese that wheeled down to feed and nest in the lonely fens and the desolate salt marshes. He began to paint them, write about them, talk about them, and his delight in watching and studying wildfowl quick. l y expanded to embrace all forms of wildlife the world over. It was natural that with his naval background....he should serve in the Royal Navy during the war, and his gallantry in actions which included Dieppe and the Normandy landings, won him . th e D.S.C. and bar. After the war (he) founded the Wildfowl Trust at Slimbridge in Gloucestershire, where visitors can see the finest collection of wildfowl in the world, and where he now lives with his wife and children in a house overlooking t. he ve r y busy ponds. Peter Scott is a man of many parts: naturalist, ornithologist, artist, writer, television personality, broadcaster, glider, sailor, wildlife conservationist." Minor edge wear, slight browning to top of textblock. Dust jacket. ha s m in or edge browning, faint tiny foxing marks on rear panel and top edges of flaps. VG+/VG.
