A lively British clergyman and natural history writer, he helped bring birds, seashore life, and the wider animal world within easy reach of young readers and general audiences. His books share the clear, curious spirit of the Victorian and Edwardian nature tradition he inherited from his father, the popular naturalist J. G. Wood.
