Oblong 4to; laminated pictorial boards; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; endpaper illustrations; pp. 160; beautiful full-colour artwork; distribution maps; some colour photographs. Fine condition. "There are many beautiful books that have been written about South African birds. This one is very special because the illustrations have been artistically created by one of South Africa's most talented artists, Lisa Halstead. You will be taken on a fascinating tour across South African skies, giving you repeated pleasure as you peruse the pages of this book filled with a diverse range of multihued birds through Lisa's eyes. Her uncanny ability to bring her subjects to life almost entices you to reach out and touch the soft feathers of any one of the superbly rendered birds that look so real. Once again she has succeeded in capturing the essence of these graceful winged creatures that bring our eyes and our ears pleasure year after year. Take the time to go through the different sections and connect with nature from the comfort of your living room." .
