This handy-sized photographic guide provides ready identification of the native birds of New Zealand's bush and countryside. Species are arranged alphabetically by common name, the brilliant photographs accompanied by concise, informative texts that describe the birds' habitats, plumage and characteristics. Penguin's Pocket Guides are the perfect introduction to the unique birdlife of this country.
Born in the north of England, the author of THE BOY WHO SAW TRUE chose to remain anonymous and would only allow his diary to appear several years after his death, with the stipulation that the original spellings were to remain and some of the names be changed. His editor Cyril Scott enjoyed a two-fold career as a musical composer and a writer on the occult and other related matters.
Now at Penguin Random House we may be biased towards a particular penguin alliance... but that doesn't mean that there aren't some wonderful other birds to vote for.
