$a “The theme running through the stories in this book is the conflict between living creatures and the elements – the grey geese flying in from the snowy wastes of the Arctic, the duck finding sanctuary here after their journey across the sea, the salmon completing their mysterious life-cycle in our estuaries, and last, the Transatlantic airman battling against the hazards of storm and cloud. All these, says Mr Horsley, `possess the qualities of which the creatures of our planet cannot have too much – courage, tenacity, and knowledge of the fickle Goddess whom we know as nature’. He writes from first-hand experience, both as an airman and a naturalist. Mr C.F. Tunnicliffe’s scraperboard illustrations add point to a narrative of unusual power.” [dust-jacket]. |
