I do not like spiders, but Fabre did, and therefore this book is fascinating. He describes several different spiders found commonly around his home, questions he wondered about them, and observations/experiments that answered his questions.
Best impulse purchase I've ever made at a used bookstore. Currently my favorite book to open to a random page and read for a few pages before bedtime. also lovely to read out loud, it has a really soothing, lilting rhythm to it. Everyone should love something as much as JH Fabre loves spiders.
Quaint, superbly old fashioned, yet insightful and full of wonder and curiosity for the natural world. Something that mixes the childlike wonder and fascination of the world with the probing and knowledge hungry essence of science.
Jean-Henri Fabre is the naturalist we all want to be when imagining a life in the field, studying and exploring the world.
