Extraordinary Pheasants

The author and photographer who brought Abrams Extraordinary Chickens (now in its fourth printing) is back with another singular and charming book.

With gorgeous color photographs and informative text, Stephen Green-Armytage turns his attention to the pheasant family, capturing with his camera pheasants of all sizes, shapes, and colors and illuminating gorgeous feather patterns and other decorative details worthy of French fabric designers.

The varieties included range from the noble Ringneck pheasant, so popular with hunters, to the gorgeous Congo peacock.

Breeders and enthusiasts will find this volume a treasure they must own; for others it will be a revelation, worth having for the sheer enjoyment of the striking photographs and the amazing birds they portray.
