His imperial majesty : a natural history of the Purple Emperor
Oates, M. R. (Matthew R.)2020
Book
Matthew Oates has spent 50 years trying to unravel the Purple Emperor's secrets. Many mysteries remain unsolved, but enough are revealed in this book to enable experts and non-experts alike to go out in search of a butterfly that thrills and enthrals all who encounter it. This is a good-news species, at a time of massive wildlife decline. And this is a joyous - often rapturous - account, written in plain English, as a labour of love.
