INSECT ADVENTURES 
By J. HENRI FABRE 
Selected and Arranged for Young People by Louis Seymour Hasbrouck 
A NEW supplementary reader in nature study for the 
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 
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. 
A useful index is included. 
Cloth. 300 pages. Price $1.40
