Walking With Dave by Penny Rumble

Description

Ever heard of fungus gnats, or seen De Gaulle in his bath? Or gone hunting for the rare black mining bee? Do you know how the pink-flowered centaury got its name?  In this delightful book, part travelogue, part natural history, part art collection, artist Penny Rumble and her companions take you along as they walk through the beautiful landscape of West Cornwall, tracking down the eye-catching flora and fauna around them. Lavishly illustrated with sketches, paintings and photographs, this treasure-trove of facts will captivate and inform.

With 30 paintings, 20 sketches and 25 photos this book acts as a catalogue of Penny’s work as well as an introductory guide to the natural history of West Cornwall.
