FABRE: POET OF SCIENCE
By G. V. LEGROS
With a Photogravure Frontispiece
This biography is based upon long acquaintance and access to family
letters, and is a striking record of a wonderful life.
"Stands out as a really sound, sympathetic, and artistic piece of
work.... The simple story of the life-work of an observer of nature
in general, and of insects in particular, is unfolded in a manner
which makes it as fascinating as a romance."--The Times.
"A rare biography."--Saturday Review.
"It is a prose poem on a great scientist, his simple life and
remarkable work."--Daily Graphic.
"Dr. Legros gives us a sympathetic insight into the life and work
of the poet scientist, and a just record of a great man."--Daily
Express.
"Dr. Legros gives us an exceptionally vivid picture of the man, his
toil and trials, his characteristics, and his ways of
life."--Everyman.
"A book so packed with charm we have rarely opened."--Evening
Standard.
