The wonders of plant and animal life told with rare literary charm by Uncle Paul in conversations with three children. Besides such stories as the ants' subterranean city, the spider's suspension bridge, and the caterpillars' processing, he unlocks the mystery behind thunder and lightning, clouds and rain, the year and its seasons, and volcanoes and earthquakes. Suitable for ages 9 to 12.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 2019 Reprint of 1918 Edition. Profusely iilustrated. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. The famed French naturalist Fabre covers a large variety of subjects in these 80 short but fascinating essays about insects, animals and nature in general. The translator explains in her foreword, The young in heart and the pure in heart of whatever age will find themselves drawn to this incomparable story-teller, this reverent reveler of the awe-inspiring secrets of nature. The identity of the Uncle Paul, who in this book and others of the series plays the story-teller's part, is not hard to guess; and the young people who gather about him to listen to his true stories from wood and field, from brook and hilltop, from distant ocean and adjacent millpond, are, without doubt, the author's own children, in whose companionship he delighted and whose education he conducted with wise solicitude.
