Beningfield"s Butterflies

Harmondsworth : Viking

<p>This book is about the diminishing number of England's rich variety of traditional farm animals, an area of concern that is attracting growing support, illustrated and written by a wildlife and landscape artist and campaigner for the preservation of the English countryside. Gordon Beningfield has produced a hundred new paintings of which farm animals are the main feature, by scouring the country in search of Gloucester Old Spot, Middle White and Tamworth pigs, Buff Orpington and Light Sussex chickens, English White Park cattle, Southdown sheep, Suffolk Punch horses and many other breeds that either have become rare, or are simply not frequently seen. The author's previous books include "Beningfield's English Landscape", "Beningfield's Countryside", "Beningfield's Butterflies", "Hardy Country", "The Darkling Thrush" and "Poems of the Countryside".</p>

Beningfield's Woodlands

Son of a lighterman, Gordon Beningfield grew up in London and is one of the last surviving artisans of a generation who served apprenticeships as ecclesiastical artists. Since the early 1960s, he has built a reputation as a landscape and natural history painter, and his work has reached wide audiences through his appearances on television and radio. This book is at once an autobiography and a celebration of Gordon Beningfield's art which, in addition to his well-known paintings, includes stained glass memorial windows for the Brigade of Guards in the Guards Chapel in London, sculpture and two sets of stamps for the British Post Office. He is an ardent campaigner for the conservation of the English countryside and in 1990 was made President of the British Butterfly Conservation Society.
