New York: W. W. Norton & Company, Inc., [1965]. First Edition, As Stated. Octavo, blue cloth (hardcover), gilt letters, 238 pp. Very Good+, with slight fading to spine, in a Very Good dust jacket with edgewear. “This book, a record of what Mr. Russell saw and felt [when exploring a group of islands lying off the eastern coasts of Canada and Newfoundland: Grand Manan, Hay and Kent in the Bay of Fundy; Bonaventure; Funk, Great, Green and Gull Islands, far to the north], is an extraordinary account of exploration and discovery and an affirmation of the human spirit. Mr. Russell takes his reader with him on his encounters with the adults and children of the isolated northern islands and on his explorations of the great bird colonies...Mr. Russell’s book is a treasure of fascinating observations and insights into nature. Perhaps more importantly, Mr. Russell’s chronicle of a simpler, more comprehensible manner of life, fixes man and his activites as part of the larger scheme of the natural world.”
