Emperors, Admirals and Chimney Sweepers by Peter Marren
The first accessible, comprehensive guide to the names of our butterflies and moths, both English and Latin. This book takes you back to a time before the arts and science were divided. When entomologists were poets and painters too, and when a gift for vivid language went hand-in-hand with a deep pre-Darwinian fascination for the natural world.
Peter Marren has written widely on the natural world and our association with it. Among some twenty books, he is the author of Rainbow Dust, Bugs Britannica, The New Naturalists which won the Thackray Medal, as well as contributions to Collins New Naturalist, the British Wildlife Collection and Poyser Natural History, He writes regularly for British Wildlife and Butterfly magazine and is a former columnist in The Countryman.
