Summary Note
“Norman Ellison, in Out of Doors with Nomad, once more captures the delightful spirit of the English countryside and its varied wild life. With Dick, his schoolboy nephew, Nomad sets off in a canoe to explore the River Ursk; and they meet with many fascinating and often exciting adventures before they return home.
They sleep in a haunted farmhouse, have an encounter at night with salmon poachers, and experience some tense moments when shooting the rapids; and all the time they are studying at close quarters the animals and birds which Nomad knows and love so well.
Fully illustrated by C.F. Tunnicliffe the famous nature artist.” [dust-jacket].
