Beetles of the World

Patrice Bouchard, M. G. Leonard and Max Barclay

Yesterday, I spent a wonderful afternoon at the Natural History Museum in London with two world-renowned (and my favourite) coleopterists. Either one could be Bartholomew Cuttle from my Beetle Boy stories.

I was there to celebrate their wonderful new book BEETLES OF THE WORLD. It has an interesting first chapter which demonstrates the fascination beetles have held for many people throughout history, from Darwin to… well… me! I was utterly delighted that, along with Kafka and some other literary greats, they were kind enough to mention my stories about beetles.

The book is beautiful and written in an engaging and understandable way. All teachers & beetle enthusiasts are going to want this book. It would make a brilliant Christmas present for the nature lovers in your life. You can order one HERE.
