About the Author

Michael Chinery is best known for his field guides to insects and other creepy-crawlies, especially those that occur in gardens, and for his numerous books encouraging young people to explore and enjoy the countryside and its wildlife. Insects and wild flowers fascinated him from a very early age and this inevitably led to an interest in plant galls with their intimate mix of plant and animal life. He joined the British Plant Gall Society soon after its formation in 1985, and has been editing the Society's journal, "Cecidology", since 1990.

Reviews

"This compact pocket book includes good descriptions and colour images of 200 kinds--all those most likely to be noticed--together with the often intricate life histories of the organisms that cause them. Highly recommended."--Peter Marren and Andrew Branson, British Wildlife
