description: The appearance of Margaret Fountaine’s diaries in 1978 led to this publishing sensation. Love Among the Butterflies recorded the activities and private passions of a Victorian vicar’s daughter from Norfolk who became one of the foremost entomologists of her day. Although the public was captivated by Fountaine’s unorthodox private life, she has never been given serious consideration for her work.
