Fabre's Book of Insects
Jean-Henri Fabre and Rodolph, Mrs. Stawell
No one has written of insects with more delight than Fabre. Here he follows the sacred beetle rolling its ball, the cicada singing in its burrow, and the small dramas of the field, blending exact science with pure storytelling. A classic of nature writing for every age. Meet the insects through the eyes of their greatest observer.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
