A Kaleidoscope of Butterflies by Jonathan Bradley
There are 59 butterfly species to be found in the British Isles and each one is featured in this beautifully illustrated book. 'Kaleidoscope' is the collective noun for butterflies. With commentaries on the appearance, habitats and life-cycles of each butterfly, the stories behind their names and the people who first identified them, the author, Jonathan Bradley, has also written a short poem to accompany each butterfly, painting a vivid picture of the distinctive habits of the species and how they have inspired and moved us. The exceptionally beautiful butterfly photographs have been taken by Yealand Kulfayan, an Associate of the Royal Photographic Society, who - like the author - has had a life-long fascination with butterflies and has looked for them all over the UK and Europe.
Jonathan Bradley is an academic, businessman and published poet who has written on butterflies for various magazines, including The Countryman, This England, and Atropos magazine. His long-standing passion for butterflies was inspired by walks in the countryside with his now-adult children when they were young. He has a strong commitment to conserving butterflies and their environments. He lives with his wife Harriet near Bristol, where they are lucky to have many butterflies visiting their garden.
