The very diversity of the garden ensures the incomparable variety of its inhabitants. This book is about the intruders in our gardens - a book about gardens for the naturalist, about natural history for the gardener. Michael Chinery is the ideal author to lead us up this highly diverting garden path. He introduces us to each group in turn, shows us where to look for them and how to recognise them when we have found them. He also tells us how we can garden for them and attract them to our gardens. There is much in this book to intrigue the reader.
