About the author

Roy Frederick Brown, born in Vancouver B.C., was deputy headmaster of the Helen Allison School for Autistic Children, Gravesend, Kent, from 1969-75.

"Among major children's writers of the 1970s, Roy Brown was one particularly open to his times, in tune with their issues and concerns and, while the readability and human interest of his stories guarantee a wide readership, the settings indicate a conscious desire to offer the non-academic urban child a means of identification. The years brought development in technique but not deviation from city backgrounds and characters at risk or disadvantage in modern society."

[Ayla Paul · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good book, but it claims to have tracks and signs of birds of Britain and Europe, but missing the feather sets of bird species like Goshawk and Hen Harrier, both very important bird species and a shame that they're missing in this book. other than that great reference book.

Beautiful illustrations of feathers and other field-signs.
