| Notes | Publisher description for : A Naturalist on the Prowl Author: EHA ( Edward Hamilton Aitken) ; introduction by Ruskin Bond)EHA, while being as knowledgeable as any naturalist, will make you smile or chuckle or laugh out loud. This was what made his books so entertaining, and so readable today, a hundred years after they first appeared.’—Ruskin Bond. ‘By pedigree the crab, I admit, is but a prawn which has curled its tail under its stomach and taken to walking; but no one who has lived much among crabs and associated with them, so to speak, can lump them with prawns and other shell-fish good for curry’—EHA. Ruskin Bond reintroduces one of his favourite authors to readers in this beautiful new edition. One of the most popular naturalist-writers of his time, EHA (1851–1909) was one of the founding members of the Bombay Natural History Society. A Naturalist on the Prowl is full of delightful observations on the flora and fauna of the Western Ghats. |
