Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Studies in Nature and Literature
An Egotistical Chapter so revealingly and withal so concisely that it makes the most fit ting introduction to this little volume of selections from the works of our greatest literary naturalist. The choosing of material from fifteen by'no means slender volumes has been a difficult task; how many favorites one would like to include, such as The Hunt for the Nightingale, The Apple, The Grist of the Gods - but one must not make a catalogue in a preface! It is hoped, however, that the material which has been selected and is here presented may serve to increase the interest of stu dents in the writings of Mr. Burroughs, and that it may encourage them to read and express on their own account the world which he has made known to us as a place abounding in miracles.
