Jean-Henri Fabre
$9.99
Through Jean-Henri Fabre's sensitive, inquisitive, and intelligent descriptions, he successfully conveys to even the most skeptical of readers that insects are, in fact, incredible. Fabre's unapologetic, guileless love for their delicate strength and quiet beauty is communicated with exquisite passion in the pages of Fabre's Book of Insects. It is impossible to read Fabre's descriptions of the cricket, the cicada, the praying mantis (and all the rest) without gaining an appreciation for the fascinating world of insects.
Mrs. Stawell provides a beautifully abridged version of Fabre's captivating works, maintaining all of its magic without imposing any outside style.
