AUDUBON

by Constance Rourke ‧ RELEASE DATE: Oct. 29, 1936

Published on the adult list, but a must item for older boys' and girls' book shelves. The outstanding biography of a famous naturalist, one of the most picturesque and romantic figures in early American history. In collecting the material for this biography, Miss Rourke has done some fascinating research, tracing down to their sources the anecdotes, legends and stories that have grown up around Audubon. She has unearthed new material, and put the breath of life into old, Grand reading and a beautiful piece of bookmaking, with good type face and page layout, and fine reproductions of 12 Audubon plates in full color. An ideal gift book for anyone interested in birds -- in American pioneering -- and an essential book for public, school and college libraries.
