The son of the famous Pre-Raphaelite painter Sir John Everett Millais, he chose the natural world as his canvas. Millais travelled extensively across Africa, the Americas, and northern Europe, becoming one of the most prolific outdoor writers and animal illustrators of his generation. His deep personal friendship with Selous gave him unprecedented access to private diaries, family correspondence networks, and hunting journals, allowing him to construct an unparalleled, highly authentic Edwardian perspective on frontier history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Pioneer Head, Salisbury (Heritage Series, Volume VII)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58467153903919,"sku":"Life of Frederick Courtenay Selous, D.S.O., Capt. 25th Royal Fusiliers Author: John Guille Millais (J.G.
