About the author

Gilbert White

1720–1793

Best known for The Natural History and Antiquities of Selborne, he turned close, patient observation of everyday wildlife into a classic of English nature writing. An English clergyman as well as a naturalist, he helped shape the way later readers looked at birds, seasons, and the small dramas of the countryside.
