The Hong Kong Countryside by G.A.C. Herklots HC 1959

This book is organized around the changing seasons in Hong Kong, showcasing how the natural landscape, flora and fauna vary throughout the year. It provides detailed descriptions of local plants, birds, insects and other wildlife, highlighting their ecological significance and beauty. The text is accompanied by illustrations including line drawings, black & white as well as spectacular color plates. This book is a valuable historical document, offering insights into Hong Kong's environment as it was in the mid-20th century.

This book is in good, used condition. There is normal shelfwear, some scrapes and small tears of the dust jacket. There's a sticker on the front pastedown that says, "Ex Libris Joseph Hamilton", but I see no other library stamps nor markings. There is a price written lightly in pencil in the corner of the front free sheet. Please see photos.
