Wake-robin: a collection of essays about the birds.
New York: Dover Publications, 2017. Octavo, paperback, BRAND NEW.
At the turn of the 20th century, John Burroughs ranked among America's most popular authors. The distinguished naturalist possessed a special gift for sharing his close observations in an engaging style that combines scientific accuracy with a grand poetic expression. This 1871 collection of essays, his first on nature, focuses on one of his favourite topics, birds, particularly those of the Adirondack and Washington, D.C. regions.
