GREAT WINGS AND SMALL

By

Pub Date: June 25th, 1940
Publisher: Macmillan

Bird stories of our day, a companion volume to her Horse Stories and Dog Stories, but more definitely non-fiction. Anecdotes, articles, and a few fictionized nature studies, revealing various birds and their ways of life. The subjects range from habits of birds in general to rare birds and problems of conservation. The book seems to us to be specialized in character, and destined more for the nature shelf than the fiction shelf, though it is not a technical book. The authors represented include, Ernest Thompson Beton, John Muir, Mark Twain, Kenneth Gilbert, Dan Miller, etc.
