Reviews for The Little Book of Butterflies

"""This is a book that should be carried with you, and the next time you observe butterflies living their lives, and wonder about some aspect of their behaviour, the answer to your questions will be right at hand. You will very quickly, and effortlessly become a better naturalist - and that's hard to beat.""---David M. Gascoigne, Travels with Birds"
