Description

This beautifully produced book was written by two Englishmen who, at the end of the 19th century, were instrumental in setting up the Coto Donana in southern Spain as a wildlife reserve, which it is to this day. In addition to writing about hunting and birds they give a fascinating picture of the primitive country rural Spain was at that time. They also have a 15-page chapter on bullfighting which is unusually accurate and well worth reading whatever your feelings on the subject. Highly recommended.
