From the 1860s to the 1930s, there was a great flowering of the illustrator1s art in England and America. Artists such as Kate Greenaway, Jessie Willcox Smith, Arthur Rackham, Edmund Dulac, and the Robinson brothers revolutionized the art of children1s book illustration. Their beautifully executed illustrations made children1s books appealing to all ages. This book includes biographies of more than 50 of the artists whose talents helped to create the Golden Age. Includes not only the great names, but also less well known but equally talented artists such as Anne Anderson, Margaret Tarrant, Harry Clarke, and L. Leslie Brooke. More than 150 illustrations, both in color and B&W.

This story is a quest for an animal so rare that a sighting has never been recorded. The Somali golden mole was first described in 1964, but the sole evidence for its existence is a tiny fragment of jawbone found in an owl pellet. Intrigued by this elusive creature, and what it can tell us about extinction and survival, Richard Girling embarks on a hunt to find the animal and its discoverer - an Italian professor who he thinks might still be alive... Richard's journey comes at a time when one species - our own - is having to reconsider its relationship with every other. He delves into the history of exploration and cataloguing and the tall tales of the great hunters, traces the development of the conservation movement and addresses central issues of extinction and biodiversity.
