New Zealand

Second hand.

To describe in a few words the scope of Russell Jackson's work in this book is well nigh impossible. Never before has an artist captured so vividly the minutiae  of New Zealand wildlife.Travel with him in the pages of this book, through the North, South and some outlying islands and marvel at what he presents: here, the jewel-like eye of the tuatara, the only survivor from the age of the dinosaurs and other giant reptiles; there, an alert tui caught against a bank draped with fragrant fern; or the confident countenance of wild pigs hunting giant flax snails: the dank, dense, heavy green of the undisturbed New Zealand forest. Integrated with Russell Jackson's sketches and drawings are his observations written in easy diary style, to complete an unrivalled portrait of our minal and plant life A briliant revelation of selections from the absorbing world of nature so close to all who live and travel this young land.
