'Birds have been to me the solace, the recreation, the passion of a
lifetime.' So wrote Reginald Bosworth Smith (1839 1908), former
Classics master at Harrow School. As a young man, he published his
first book on birds while teaching at Oxford, and he continued to
combine his lifelong love of birds with classical and literary
teaching and research. He retired to a country house in Dorset and
in 1905 published this book, based on a series of articles written
in his retirement. Recording his own observations, some of many
years before, and peppered with scholarly references to birds in
literature, the essays cover individual birds such as the owl, the
raven and the magpie, as well as bird-watching in Dorset and
beyond. Imparting a love and respect for wildlife that remains
inspiring, this book will be of great interest to the bird-lover
and scholar of today.
