1966 Cuckoo In June - Alison Uttley (C. F. Tunnicliffe illust) The Country Book Club. Hardback red boards. Good unclipped jacket. Lovely illustrations by C. F. Tunnicliffe Published by The Country Book Club in 1966, the book follows the changing life of the countryside through June, observing birds, animals, flowers, insects and the rhythms of rural life. Uttley brings her characteristic warmth and close observation to the natural world, while Tunnicliffe’s illustrations beautifully capture the appearance and character of the British landscape and its wildlife. It is a lovely nature and countryside book, particularly appealing to readers interested in traditional British rural life, natural history and the work of two much-loved twentieth-century nature writers and illustrators.
