Description

Buckland was one of the most outsized eccentrics of his time - a naturalist who seriously proposed kangaroo - and yak-ranching in England, and a raconteur whose London home was filled with a freakish array of stuffed animals and grinning skulls. Rescued after a century of obscurity, "Curious Men" brings back to life eighteen tales from one of the most curious men of all.
