'We feel a most uncommon admiration for such a piece of pure Nature as Mr. J. C. Tregarthen's "Wild Life at the Land's End." It is altogether an honest, bluff, happy record of observations by one who loves the Cornish country with a genuine patriotism, and knows it as well as he loves it.'— World.

'All these varied features of the Land's End region are reproduced in Mr. Tregarthen's book with the vividness and absence of straining after effect which only comes of long and intimate knowledge, and his descriptions of sport in their picturesque surroundings are some of the freshest and most vigorous which have appeared during recent years.'—Evening Standard.
'Not for a long time have I read a more fascinating book.'—Tatler.
'A volume which most readers will lay down with real regret. Is certain to become one of the classics of its county. It deserves a place on the bookshelves of every lover of nature and sport.'—Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News.
