Gilbert White The Richard Mabey Library

‘An excellent evocation of Gilbert White that deserves a place beside the original work. ‘ Alan Sillitoe Gilbert White’s Natural History of Selborne is one of the most published books in the English language. Yet for centuries little was known about the minor clergyman who earned £20 a year and rarely ventured outside his Hampshire parish. But in 1986 Richard Mabey published this detailed portrait of Gilbert White which went on to win the Whitbread Biography Award. This special hardback edition, with a new foreword by the author celebrates the enduring relevance of Richard Mabey’s writing.THE RICHARD MABEY LIBRARYPublished to celebrate Richard Mabey’s 80th birthday and his many achievements as a naturalist and writer, Little Toller presents a limited edition library of his greatest works, printed in the UK with new introductions by Richard Mabey. With newly-commissioned jacket artworks by Michael Kirkman, the titles include: Beechcombings, The Unofficial Countryside, Nature Cure and Gilbert White
