(4.6 stars; 332 reviews)

The famed French naturalist Fabre covers a large variety of subjects in these 70 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." (Summary by Phil Chenevert) (10 hr 51 min)

A great book by Jean-Henri Fabre.


(5 stars)

This is a a great science book, this should definitely be required for people to read or listen to this. I loved all the readers. A must read. 5 stars. I am glad that this book has a translation, judging by the name of the author I’m guessing she’s French. Thanks again for the readers, a translation, and the great book. If you don’t like this book something’s wrong. Explains a lot about Nature and science, the main reason why I loved it is because I love science not math, lol. Thanks again to the readers!

good book 😍😍😍😘😘 [NINA] 💝❤️
