Log-Book of a Fisherman and Zoologist By Frank Buckland Originally published in 1883, this collects various articles, all with a natural history theme, written by the author - a well-travelled zoologist. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Hesperides Press are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
