A beautiful book. Published in London in 1985 by Viking, this First Edition is in superior condition - an extremely clean and crisp example, gift worthy, and without wear. Best of all, however, is that it is SIGNED by BOTH the author & illustrator, and this makes it a highly collectable and special book to own. Featuring wonderful b/w and colour illustrations throughout, this very attractive title provides an account of Adams's nature observations during a calendar year, with accounts of the Isle of Man, the Lake District, Anglesey, London, and farther afield to Denmark and Australia. A thoroughly absorbing account it is, too, and splendidly supported by John Lawrence's lovely artwork - which includes his fine, wraparound dust-jacket design. (Interestingly, both Adams and Lawrence collaborated on the first illustrated edition of "Watership Down" in 1976). Presenting superbly well, the book is in its original black cloth boards, stamped in gilt to spine, and is complete with the (price-clipped) dust-jacket (to which I have fitted a removeable protector). Over the jacket's protector (not on the actual jacket itself) has been placed a "Signed Copy" sticker. Dimensions: approx. 15.5cm x 24cm.…
