Interested in butterflies and their presence in the British Isles?

If you are at all interested in beautiful butterflies and perhaps conserving this rapidly changing feature of the British countryside and gardens, then you should get to know more with `Jewels in the Air'.
The wealth of information available in a compact package includes:

- Review of the place of butterflies in history
