I know there are Gilbert White enthusiasts here; there have been discussions on which of the FS editions of The Natural History of Selborne is best, and indeed of other editions of this much-published work. I've just received the newly-published book A Year with Gilbert White by Jenny Uglow, whose other biography subjects include Thomas Bewick, Sarah Losh and the Lunar Men and others. I'm a fan of hers. The book seems to be well illustrated, and nicely made, and worth drawing to your attention.

I like Gilbert White, and also Jenny Uglow. Thanks for letting us know.

>1 affle: Very firmly on my birthday present wishlist, and if not then, will buy next day! Jenny Uglow and Gilbert White? Total no-brainer! Now if FS were to ever publish any of her or Claire Tomalin's biographies, they'd have me instantly back as a buyer!
