Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. An early printing. Hailed by Darwin as "The Homer of Insects", famed French entomologist Jean Henri Fabre (1823-1915) devoted hours of rapt attention to insects while they hunted, built nests, and fed their families. Working in Provence, in barren, sun-scorched fields inhabited by countless wasps and bees, he observed their intricate and fascinating world, recounting their activities in simple, beautifully written essays. This volume, based on translations of Fabre's Souvenirs Entomologiques, blends folklore and mythology with factual explanation and features 12 exquisite tipped-in color plates by E.J. Detmold. Quarto: viii, [4], 271 p. Original green cloth binding, with decorative gilt stamping. Faint offsetting to the front endpaper; else a fine copy in a fine dust jacket. Housed in the publisher's two-part box.
