Summary
The White Mountains of New Hampshire are renowned for their rugged beauty and unspoiled wilderness. They are the home to a dizzying variety of butterflies, including some that are found nowhere else on earth. This book, a cooperative project of the Audubon Society of New Hampshire and The Globe Pequot Press, is a comprehensive treatment of the region's butterflies. Color photographs, a detailed text by naturalist Warren Kiel, and spectacular ink drawings by artist Lois DeLuca combine to make this book both a superb guide and a celebration of butterflies.
