From the publisher
Gilbert White (1720-1793) was a pioneering naturalist whose Natural History of Selborne laid the ground for works of natural history for two hundred years and which has never been out of print. In this biography, Richard Mabey recreated a life and wonderfully evoked White's Hampshire landscape. Alan Sillitoe described Gilbert White as 'enthralling' and the book won the 1986 Whitbread Award for Biography. This new edition forms part of the Richard Mabey Library, published to mark the author's 80th birthday, and has a cover by the artist Michael Kirkman.
