Gordon Seton sounds a fascinating chap! Very brief biography over at wikipedia.

He wrote lots of books, and possibly more articles, letters, public speeches and so on.

Does anyone know which of his books are folklore rather than being natural history, photography or whatever? This is the wikipedia list which must be the minimum of material. Has anyone read him?
