Summary Note
"No excursion in the country could be more interesting and entertaining than those undertaken by Nomad and his young nephew Dick. In this new book they have many exciting experiences: they watch the Bempton climbers go down the cliffs in search of gulls’ eggs; they explore our inland waterways in the Pommie, a converted barge; and Dick has a thrilling escape when he rescues a farmer’s wife and child from a blazing farm-house. Roving with Nomad shows once again how masterly is Norman Eillison’s knowledge of wild-life in Britain. His many readers and B.B.C. listeners will welcome his latest fascinating story of the countryside.
Illustrated by C.F. Tunnicliffe the eminent nature artist.” [dust-jacket].
