Nature Diary Of A Quiet Pedestrian, Croft, Philip. Published by Harbour Publishing Company, Madeira Park, British Columbia, Canada, 1986. Volume is in fine condition; dustjacket has light edge toning and a small closed tear to rear.
This book is a lyrical appreciation of West coast nature by the brilliarit naturalist Philip Croft. Set in a diary form, it is based on Croft’s regular daily walk through his own neighbourhood in West Vancouver, into the forest and down to the beach. Illustrated by the author with sketches and water colour paintings, the book is a beautifully articulate, humorous and philosophical tribute to the west coast’s seasons.
