Lyrebirds are native to Australia and were only scientifically documented in the late 18th Century and are still the subject of exhaustive study to this day. Their amazing calls and exceptional skills of mimicry have led them to becoming the subject of many tall tales, this is a well written guide to the real Lyrebird by a man who has been into the wild outback to find them. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

My master had apparently conceived an instantaneous fancy for the Burmese Prince, and, as far as I could judge, the liking had been reciprocated. The two men had gravitated by mutual impulse; and after dinner had adjourned to a quiet corner andcarried on quite a cabinet confab until nearly eleven, at which hour Prince Ming bade us good-night. The Prince had not been gone more than five minutes when Vigorous Daunt also took his leave (and mine). My master decided to walk home. " It's a fine night and we have been four hours seated," he explained.
