WOOD FOLK SERIES 



By WILLIAM J. LONG 



THE unique merit of this nature student rests in his fascinating style of 

 writing, which invariably interests young and old ; for without this 

 element his pioneer work in the realm of nature would now be familiar 

 only to scientists. As it is, Long's Wood Folk Series is in use in 

 thousands of schools the country over, has been adopted by many reading circles, 

 and is now on the library lists of six important states; thus leading laymen, 

 young and old, into the wonderland of nature hitherto entirely closed to all.
