About the book >.>.> Eric Ennion was a unique but not widely known genius of British wildlife painting. A Cambridgeshire doctor with a passion for nature he gave up medicine to pioneer Field Study Centres and to write to broadcast and above all to draw and paint the birds he knew with a first-hand experience seldom equalled by any artist. This book shows a selection of the beautiful studies and field sketches kept by Eric Ennion as references for his larger paintings as well as illustrations and descriptive extracts from some of his articles and books. He always hoped that people would learn to see and enjoy birds as they really are rather than as artist’s book-plates; now through his own eyes and brush this is just what we are able to do. (SP)
