  • Excellent
    By Peter 10 May 2018 Written for Paperback
    This informative and engaging book chronicles the experiences of a group of experienced naturalists as they travel through six Eastern European countries, recording the impressive variety of flora and fauna they encounter. The text is enhanced by the quality of the numerous photographs, and their observations are summarised, country by country, in a useful checklist at the back of the book. The books great appeal is the way it combines knowledgeable descriptions of the wildlife and landscape with a very readable travelogue. This includes candid descriptions of their accommodation and entertaining accounts of the incidents and encounters they enjoyed and endured along the way. Consequently, as well as being valuable to fellow naturalists, the book would also prove enjoyable for the casual reader. It would provide excellent guidance and inspiration for those tempted to follow in their footsteps on similar excursions and I would thoroughly recommend it.
