Synopsis

This vintage book contains Gene Stratton-Porter's 1910 work, "Music of the Wilds". Split into three parts, this fantastic volume comprises a collection of wonderful and masterfully-composed musings on the subject of nature. This book is sure to appeal to lovers of nature writing, and it is not to be missed by collectors of Stratton-Porter's beautiful work. Gene Stratton-Porter (1863 - 1924) was an American writer, naturalist, photographer, and one of the first women to own a movie studio. The contents of this book include: "The Chorus of the Forest", "Songs of the Field", and "The Music of the Marsh". Many antiquarian texts such as this are increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The same intense love of out-door beauty which makes us all remember Mrs. Gene Stratton-Porter's stories is shown in this book, a large volume with an ampler range of subject than the title would suggest. To the author's open mind the "music" of owl and hawk and bat belong to the " Chorus of the Forest" as well as that of chewink or grosbeak, and her delicate ear catches also the fairy sayings of moth and flower. Her judgment is not warped, because she knows which song is sweetest; but she insists that each angel have his due whether he be black or white. So crow and cricket, hop-toad and katy-did, have their meed of praise.
