Oliver Pike was an early adopter of motoring, and used his vehicles to take him in to the countryside and observe nature from them. He even used his car as a hide, as birds and animals got used to it, and the book includes several of his photographs. A chatty but accurate introduction to the wildlife of Britain, primarily aimed at the town and city dwellers of his era.
