Book Synopsis
Although not closely related, quail, buttonquail and the Plains-wanderer have much in common. This book examines 14 species of these small, secretive ground-dwelling birds, including Old World and New World quail, the endangered Buff-breasted Buttonquail, the elusive Plains-wanderer and the extinct New Zealand Quail.

Trade Review
"This book is a must have for anyone with a serious interest in the birds of the region!" * The Birdbooker Report *
"This is another very fine and comprehensive publication from Joseph Forshaw, and anyone with an interest in these birds will profit greatly from reading it" -- Steve Holliday * Canberra Bird Notes 48(1) *
"The text is nicely enhanced by Frank Knight's paintings. Each species account has field-guide type illustrations of adults of each sex, a bird in flight, and of downy young." * Canberra Bird Notes Vol 48(1) *
