The Wandering Tattler: Travels in Search of Birds

Very good used hardcover. Age tanned pages.

Although she always had the urge to travel and a consuming passion for birds, Elizabeth Forster reached middle age before she threw up the security of her job with the BBC. When she was fifty-five -- the age when people are contemplating the pleasures of retirement -- she decided to see for herself the remote parts of the world and the birds they contained, and during the past ten years she has travelled extensively, always the hard way and almost always alone.

Her freshly written narrative will have an immediate appeal to anyone who shares the author's enthusiasms and enjoy an unusual book of travel and personal adventure.
