INSECT ADVENTURES

_By_ J. HENRI FABRE

_Selected and Arranged for Young People by Louis Seymour Hasbrouck_

[Illustration]

A new supplementary reader in nature study for the intermediate
grades. A book containing a vast amount of information relating to
insect life--the life story of the spider, the fly, the bee, the wasp,
and other insects--told by one who was at once a lover of nature, a
great scientist, and a most entertaining writer. Maeterlinck calls
Fabre the "insects' Homer," and declares that his work is as much a
classic as the famous Greek epic, and deserves to be known and studied
as a classic.

This is the first time that Fabre's writings have been made available
for school use, and the book will prove a delight to school children
wherever they are given the chance to read it. No live boy or girl
could fail to be interested in nature subjects presented by so gifted
a naturalist as Fabre in the form of such absorbing adventures.

The many quaint sketches with which the book has been illustrated by
Elias Goldberg complete its charm.

A useful index is included.

_Cloth. 300 pages. Price $1.48._

most successful teachers of outdoor science in this country. He
believes in field excursions, and his text is designed to help
teachers and pupils in the inquiries that they will make for
themselves.

The text deals with three phases of outdoor science that have a
