This book is an account of two years spent getting to know Britain's
most dazzling and enigmatic insects - the dragonflies and damselflies.
The quest to find, photograph, watch and learn about dragons and
damsels took the author on a tour of diverse and lovely wetlands up
and down Britain, from the rugged wild peat bogs of north-west
Scotland to the languid meanders of the Oxfordshire Thames. The
account describes close encounters with the dragons and damsels
themselves, set against backdrops of rich and vital habitats teeming
with a range of other wildlife. It is also packed with background
detail on dragonfly and damselfly natural history, and wetland ecology
in general. The text is enlivened with line drawings and a section of
colour photographs.
