This book of paintings and sketches of birds and wildlife in Norfolk begins in the early spring, continues through the summer and concludes with the first signs of autumn.
There are chapters on Barn Owls, Bitterns, Adders, breeding birds of the grazing marshes, Nightjars, Tawny Owls and the return passage of the waders. These are woven together with a further series of topical paintings.
The foreword is by Ian Wallace. North Norfolk Summer Sketchbook is full colour throughout, 140 pages long with printed end papers and limited to 1500 copies. The first 50 copies are a special edition with hand-coloured etching on the cover and spine. The following 1450 are hardback with dust jacket.
(If you would like your copy signed by the author, please add a note to your order at the checkout stage.)
