There is not much more can be said about this marvellous pioneering work of genius from Gilbert White. Similar to Izaak Walton's 'Compleat Angler',this book is not only educational but absolutely timeless. His diary style is easy to read and offers the perfect insight into the rural life of the 18th century. Readers may want to visit Selborne, Hampshire to experience the wonderful restored gardens and house and the authentic period tea room. While White was recording his work, just a handful of miles away the men of Hambledon were establishing club cricket as we know it today. What a time and place to be! For the price of half a bitter this book can be purchased through the modern medium of e bay. Something White would no doubt be fascinated by.
