This is a new release of the original 1925 edition.
1925. A child's reading primer with the premise that the material
should be at once easy enough to be pleasurable and interesting
enough to be stimulating-so that the child, with a minimum of
attention to the difficult mechanics of the process, may be led
unconsciously to develop by much practice his newly acquired grasp
and skill...Underneath all the changing problems of method lies the
perennial problem of interest, and it is here that the special
field of this little book is felt to lie. Due to the age and
scarcity of the original we reproduced, some pages may be spotty or
faded.

In the intimate language of one who watched birds daily, Karle
Wilson Baker brought readers face to face with the wonders of the
East Texas woods in the 1930s. She wrote about tiny warblers,
industrious chickadees, and purple finches; the aery trills and
tantalizing color flashes of the hummingbirds; the bell tones of
the woodthrush; the daily visits and rare drop-ins of the prolific
bird life of the region. In a daily diary she kept throughout her
life, Baker recorded her observations of the many birds that lived
in the heavily wooded setting of her Nacogdoches home, called
Tanglewood. When her family moved from the house, she collected her
essays on bird life into this volume, illustrated by her daughter
Charlotte and published in 1930. Her little classic speaks with the
voice of her times to readers today who enjoy their avian
companions. For more about the author of this charming volume, see
Texas Woman of Letters, Karle Wilson Baker, a biography written by
Sarah Ragland Jackson and published by Texas A&M University
Press.
