Several are virtually extinct. This captivating book charts Patrick Barkham's quest to find each of them, from the Adonis Blue to the Dingy Skipper, in one unforgettable summer. Wry, attentive, full of infectious delight and curiosity, written with a beautifully light touch, The Butterfly Isles is a classic of British nature writing.
