Butterflies animate our summers but the fifty-nine species found in
the British Isles can be surprisingly elusive. Some bask unseen at
the top of trees in London parks; others lurk at the bottom of damp
bogs in Scotland. A few survive for months, while other ephemeral
creatures only fly for three days. Several are virtually extinct.
This bewitching book charts Patrick Barkham's quest to find each of
them - from the Adonis Blue to the Dingy Skipper - in one
unforgettable summer. Wry, attentive, full of infectious delight
and curiosity, written with a beautifully light touch, The
Butterfly Isles is a classic of British nature writing.
