The discovery and publication of The Cottage Book in 1999 brought the name of Sir Edward Grey—Viscount Grey of Fallodon—to the fore again after years of neglect. The longest-serving Foreign Secretary of the 20th century, he was also a naturalist and writer of the first order. First published in 1927, The Charm of Birds was an immediate popular success, but has been unavailable for many years. It deals mostly, but not exclusively, with birdsong, and is full of sensitive observation. Unlike most works of ornithology, it can be read for the pleasure of its prose alone. This handsome new edition contains all the woodcuts by Robert Gibbings that appeared in the original edition, with the addition of some of his other bird engravings.

Forgotten Books

Excerpt from Fly FishingNumerous pens have been engaged dur ing the last few years on the subject of ﬂy fishing, but the editors feel sure that the volume by Sir Edward Grey, with which the Haddon Hall Library opens, will not be re garded by anglers as superﬂuous. Gardens and gardening, too, are to be treated of, and will again receive the attention of one who has never yet failed to enrich English literature when he has taken up his pen to write on the well-loved theme.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
