The Way of a Countryman
Ian Niall
Illustrations: C.F. Tunnicliffe
Merlin Unwin Books
2012
Originally published in 1965
"Ian Niall, sportsman and naturalist, shares with his reader the joy of the countryman, captured in these varied recollections which draw on a lifetime observing nature, studying wildlife, shooting and fishing. His fascinating essays cover corncrakes and partridges, snipe and woodcock, foxes, hares and pigeons, duck and geese, trout and pike. His unerring eye for all the nuances of nature finds its perfect partner in C.F. Tunnicliffe s matchless illustrations. Together, author and artist have created a celebrated classic, an elegy to a passing world, that will delight a new generation of country lovers and book collectors. Bernard O Donoghue, the distinguished poet and countryman, writes in his foreword to this book: This is a grown-up s nature book, with all the pleasure remembered from childhood books that introduced us to nature writing. Niall s appreciative eye is wonder-fully served by C.F. Tunnicliffe s illustrations which are the sealing distinction of a perfectly executed book."

Portrait of a Country Artist
Ian Niall
Illustrations: C.F. Tunnicliffe
Victor Gollancz
1980
"Ian Niall's affectionate portrait of his friend describes the life of a warm-hearted, down-to-earth countryman, a totally dedicated artist whose genius lay in his depiction of scenes from country life and in the most exquisite representation of wild creatures." "The book attempts to illustrate a sample from Tunnicliffe's enormous output of work in its various facets. The superb early etchings are well represented, as are his fine wood engravings from the late 1930's. His watercolours, which became a regular feature of the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, are reproduced in colour, together with some of his sketches and measured drawings of birds. Particularly beautiful are the marvellous oils on cloth from 1938, little known now but surely some of his most lovely pictures."

A Galloway Childhood
Ian Niall
Illustrations: C.F. Tunnicliffe
Heinemann
1967
"This book is an autobiography of the happiest days of my life. It contains the most vivid recollections I have of all the things that impressed me most and all the people I loved and worshipped, like my burly great-uncles, Charlie and Peter, my grandfather and great-grandfather, dear old Miss Dunbar and Great-Aunt Maggie and Stewart, the man who knew horses. It is also an account of the warm summer day when my whooping-cough was cured, the day the vet operated on my poisoned foot and the days the milking-cow won a silver tea-service and the trotting-horse his last race. .It is impossible to travel in that world of Galloway as it once was and I set it down to preserve its beauty as far as I am able and while I can."
