A sequel to John d Green’s classic 1967 Birds of Britain book, The Big Book of Birds of Britain contains a wealth of previously unpublished photographs, including an entirely new species of bird, not included in the original book.
Pattie Boyd: One of the seminal books of the sixties was the coffee-table Birds of Britain, a collection of photographs of the girls whom photographer John D. Green thought epitomized the decade. I was on the front cover and most of my friends were in it. The introduction was written by Anthony Haden-Guest, who, I thought, had painted a perfect picture to set the scene:
"Consider them [English girls] now, Resplendent! Sauntering, strolling, sitting, driving around the chosen streets and squares of Central London... warm vortices of flesh, supercool in sunglasses and flaming in a rag-bag kaleido-scope of stuffs and styles. Swathed in tulle and velvet and lace, sheathed in plastic and poly-vinyl, silk and satin, throw-away paper shirts and everlasting metal-alloy dresses. Like Venus in furs, or Hell’s Angels in leather, they shimmer past, in Courreges, in Vietnam combat-kit, in Gary Cooper denims, in antique Hussar Regimentals...Grandmother’s formals swoop to the ground in a scarlet Niagara, or the hem disappears into a swirl of miniskirt, beneath which limbs flicker like jack-knives and glimmer like trout."
