Romany in the Lanes - Commemorative Edition

This nature book by PHIL SHELLEY is generously illustrated in black and white by wildlife artist R LEONARD HOLLANDS. It grows from a fondly remembered series of books by the Methodist minister naturalist broadcaster George Bramwell Evens known as ROMANY (he was part gypsy). Now Romany of the BBC is back with us 50 years on. Based in his gypsy caravan he takes us around the countryside opening our eyes to the marvels of nature. A book for older children and adults alike. As TERRY WAITE says in his Foreword it is to be hoped that through this book many will be encouraged to take a greater interest in the preservation and development of the natural world. This commemorative edition with new cover design and additional introductory material and photographs is dedicated to the memory of George Swalwell who accompanies Romany in this book. George was the real-life inspiration for 'Tim' in the original 'Out with Romany' books.
