Jean-Henri Fabre Audio Books

The famed French naturalist Fabre covers a large variety of subjects in these 70 short but fascinating essays about insects, animals and nature in general.

The clearness, simpicity, and charm of the great French naturalist's style are nowhere better illustrated than in this work, which in its variety of subject-matter and apt use of entertaining anecdote rivals "The Story-Book of Science," already a favorite with his readers.

The title tells all, along with other observations on insect life from the famed accidental entomologist of 19th Century France.

Jean-Henri Casimir Fabre was a French entomologist and author. He was born in St. LĂ©ons in Aveyron, France. Fabre was largely an autodidact, owing to the poverty of his family.

This is more than a book about bees and their lives; the author talks about his cats, red ants, and insect psychology in general.
