Autorenporträt
Maitland Emmet, a widely respected amateur entomologist, was one of Britain's leading specialists in the microlepidoptera and senior editor of the series The Moths and Butterflies of Great Britain and Ireland until his recent death. As a classical scholar and crossword enthusiast he was ideally equipped for the research needed in the preparation of this book.
