A NEW supplementary reader in nature study for the 

 | XJL intermediate grades. A book containing a vast 



amount of information relating to insect life the life 



story of the spider, the fly, the bee, the wasp, and other 

 1 insects told by one who was at once a lover of nature, a 



great scientist, and a most entertaining writer. Maeter- 

 | linck calls Fabre the "insects' Homer," and declares that 

 | his work is as much a classic as the famous Greek epic, 



and deserves to be known and studied as a classic. 



This is the first time that Fabre's writings have been 

 made available for school use, and the book will prove 

 a delight to school children wherever they are given the 

 chance to read it. No live boy or girl could fail to be 

 interested in nature subjects presented by so gifted a 

 naturalist as Fabre in the form of such absorbing ad- 

 ventures. 



The many quaint sketches with which the book has been 

 illustrated by Elias Goldberg complete its charm. 



I A useful index is included. 



Cloth. 300 pages.
