MUSIC OF THE WILD 



By GENE STRATTON- PORTER 



Author of " A Girl of the Limberlost," 

 "Freckles," etc. 



CIn this volume Mrs. Porter has done that 

 tremendously difficult thing of really putting 

 into the pages of a book the charm and the call of 

 the music of Nature — the solos and the choruses 

 and the symphonies of Nature's own voicing, the 

 intimate speakings of bird and insect to the heart 

 of man. 



The book is divided into three parts: "The 

 Chorus of the Forest," "Songs of the Fields," and 

 "The Music of the Marsh," and gives exquisite 

 and intimate descriptions of life among the trees, 

 of the familiar voices of the field beloved of out- 

 door folk, and of the wonders of lowland and 

 marsh, explored afoot and by boat. 



The book is unique. It is the work of a woman 

 who has given her life to the interpretation of 

 Nature to those who love it and are deprived of 

 its close companionship; it draws on an intimacy 

 which is precious for its minute knowledge and 

 love of the out-of-doors.
