London - Hollis and Carter, 1953 Book. Very Good. Hardcover. First edition.. Dark Estuaryis a natural history bookwritten andillustrated by D. J. Watkins-Pitchford under the pseudonym 'B. B. '. With black and white illustrations and fifteen lovely colour plates. First edition. Denys James Watkins-Pitchford MBE (1905 - 1990) was a British naturalist, an illustrator and a children's author under the pseudonym BB. He won the 1942 Carnegie Medal for British children's books. He wrote under the nom de plume of 'BB', a name based on the size of lead shot he used to shoot geese, but he maintained the use of his real name as that of the illustrator in all his books. He later illustrated books by other writers, and sold his own paintings locally. Denys was considered to be delicate as a child, and because of this was educated at home. He spent a great deal of time on his own, wandering through the fields, and developed a love of the outdoors, which was to influence his writing. He enjoyed hunting, fishing and drawing; all these things were to influence his writing greatly. Condition: In a cloth binding. Externally, generally smart with only minor wear to extremities, slight fading to spine and occasional marks and marginal scattered stains to boards. Internally, firmly bound although. Bright and generally clean throughout. Overall: VERY GOOD.
