‘EHA, while being as knowledgeable as any naturalist, will make you smile or chuckle or laugh out loud. This was what made his books so entertaining, and so readable today, a hundred years after they first appeared.’—Ruskin Bond
‘By pedigree the crab, I admit, is but a prawn which has curled its tail under its stomach and taken to walking; but no one who has lived much among crabs and associated with them, so to speak, can lump them with prawns and other shell-fish good for curry’—EHA
Ruskin Bond reintroduces one of his favourite authors to readers in this beautiful new edition. One of the most popular naturalist-writers of his time, EHA (1851–1909) was one of the founding members of the Bombay Natural History Society. A Naturalist on the Prowl is full of delightful observations on the flora and fauna of the Western Ghats.
