Gilt decorated spine and cover. All edges gilt.160pp. With 70 engravings of trees and wildlife, full page, and within the text. Light edgewear.

The author of "Walter at the Sea-side, Mary Greg wrote a series of natural history themed books for young people. This work treats the southern forest of England, New Forest. The story describes the environs and inhabitants of this forest, primarily its trees, in a romantic and appealing fashion. Oaks, birches, elms, chestnuts, lime, conifers, plane trees, alders and "graveyard trees" notably the Cypress, and the mighty sequoia of California are featured in the tale. An enchanting and educational piece.
