Lords & Ladies : 17

Part of the legendary Collins New Naturalist series—the longest-running and arguably the most influential natural history series in the world with over 100 volumes published in over 60 years.

This volume is one of the classic New Naturalist monographs, a parallel series published between 1948 and 1971 that focused on single species or related groups. For over forty years these beloved books were unavailable, but now they're back in print for a new generation of readers. Like the main series, the monographs maintained the same high standards while offering a more compact format, with stunning cover illustrations by artists Clifford and Rosemary Ellis that helped inspire an entire generation of nature enthusiasts.

This edition on Lords & Ladies—the distinctive woodland plant—is produced from an original William Collins copy, bringing this fascinating natural history study back to life with all the clarity and insight that made the New Naturalist monographs essential reading for anyone passionate about the British countryside.
