Seller's Description:
Good. No dustjacket. Size: 9x6x1; Set down on the spot and in season, it is a richly varied interweaving of discoveries, reflections, original observations, remembrances, firsthand experiences and fresh insights into nature. A companion volume to Teale's A Naturalist Buys an Old Farm, it brings vividly to life a year of days at Trail Wood, his New England homestead. When you come to the end of these daily walks, they will remain in your mind as sharply defined as experiences of your won. You will remember the encounters with such unusual creatures as the loneliness bird, the cold-tailed squirrel, the butterfly swallowed by a flower, the cat that went hunting with a beagle. You will recall the beauty, the strangeness, the surprises, the thoughtful digressions along the way. Edwin Way Teale (1899-1980) was an American naturalist, photographer and writer. Teale's works serve as primary source material documenting environmental conditions across North America from 1930-1980. He is perhaps best known for his series The American Seasons, four books documenting over 75, 000 miles of automobile travel across North America following the changing seasons. In 1942 he wrote Byways to Adventure: A Guide to Nature Hobbies as well as Near Horizons, which received the 1943 John Burroughs Medal for distinguished natural history writing. Teale became president of the Thoreau Society in 1958,

Seller's Description:
Very Good. Very Good condition. Good dust jacket. A copy that may have a few cosmetic defects. May also contain light spine creasing or a few markings such as an owner's name, short gifter's inscription or light stamp.
I was first introduced to Edwin Way Teale's writings as a child in the 50's. After re-reading Springtime in Britain last year, I decided to acquire all his published works and fell in love with this one. I bought a second copy as soon as I finished it because I knew I would want to re-read it many time and would wear the first copy out. It is daily excerpts from the diaries he kept over many years while living on his farm in Conn. (now owned by the Audubon Society). I?d recommend reading A Naturalist Buys an Old Farm prior to reading this book so you will know what went into the making of the farm. Also, if you haven?t read his Pulitzer Prize winning four book Seasons Across America series ? Wandering Through Winter, North with the Spring, Journey into Summer and Autumn Across America ? they are a joy to read.
