 JOHN BURROUGHS 



EDWIN WAY TEALE is both an expert photographer and an authority on nature, but 

 first and foremost he is a naturalist. His interest in nature began as a hobby and 

 has developed into his profession. He not only has written several books on various 

 aspects of nature, but, making use of his other ability, has illustrated them entirely 

 with photographs taken by himself. Everything from tiny insects to large snakes has 

 at one time or the other been snapped by Mr. Teale's remarkable camera. 



Other Recent Books by Edwin Way Teale 



NEAR HORIZONS -The Story of an Insect Garden 



"If NEAR HORIZONS were only a book of educational information, it still would be of considerable 

 value. Fortunately it is much more than that, for Mr. Teale is a skilled writer, deliberately 

 treading in the footsteps of illustrious predecessors. The series of books which have had their 

 source and inspiration in Mr. Teale's insect garden are minor classics in a great tradition, the 

 literary-naturalist one of Fabre, Hudson and Gilbert White. Since he is good literary company, 

 NEAR HORIZONS is inevitably good reading." The New York Times. 



GRASSROOT JUNGLES- A Rook of Insects 



"The pictures are so unusual that there is nothing like them anywhere. And Mr. Teale can 

 narrate so that we turn the page as fast as our hands can move to find out what happens next." 



DONALD CULROSS PEATTIE, author of GREEN LAURELS 



"Mr. Teale works and writes in the amiable tradition of that great lover of insect life, Fabre. 

 His pictures are by turns exquisitely beautiful and grotesque. His text is always interesting 

 and often eloquent. A good book." HENRY SEIDEL CANBY 



THE GOLDEN THRONG -A Rook About Rees 



"Mr. Teale is a master photographer of the minuscule in close-up, as well as a most admirably 

 reliable purveyor of scientific facts." The Saturday Review of Literature 



"I do not know which to admire more, his science or his art. He wins my vote on two counts." 



JOHN KIERAN 



"This will be the Bible of the Bees!" MAURICE MAETERLINCK 



BYWAYS TO AD VENTURE -A Guide to Nature Hobbies 



"In BYWAYS TO ADVENTURE Edwin Way Teale describes fifteen nature hobbies and everyone of 

 them is both fascinating and sound." N. Y. Times Book Review 



1 "An efficient and delightful guide to the best possible hobbies." Book-of-the-Month Club News 

 " "There is evident advantage to a library in having all these practical points in one volume."
