Charaxes Publications
GGB, Gornergrat, 3089m – Matterhorn, 4478m – 01.07.13Charaxes Publications produces quality books mostly about Switzerland. My name is Jason Sargerson. This is my website to provide information about my books and how to buy them. I have been interested in railways and butterflies since the 1960’s. I first visited Switzerland in 1977 and I have since visited regularly, every year in the last ten years.
I occasionally have articles published about butterflies in Argus (the Yorkshire Butterfly magazine: www.yorkshirebutterflies.org.uk). Articles about Swiss Railways appear in Swiss Express (the Swiss Rail Society magazine: www.swissrailsoc.org.uk).
Some of my photos now appear on www.lepido.ch, www.lepidoptera.eu and www.pinterest.co.uk.
Some of my video clips now appear on Youtube
I have a Personal diary and a European Butterflies Magazine diary in the Overseas section on www.ukbutterflies.co.uk
