Editorial Review Amazon.com As early as 1871, when his first book of nature essays was published, Burroughs was acclaimed as an American Gilbert White, the pioneering British naturalist and author of The Natural History of Selborne. Readers were charmed by Burroughs's enthusiastic accounts of ordinary walks made extraordinary by keen observation. By the late 1880s, when his first collection of nature essays for children was published, he was one of America's most popular interpreters of the natural world. He kept writing until 1921, when he died at the age of 84. Edward Kanze, a naturalist and writer, has written an engaging narrative that nevertheless leaves the reader hungry for more information. The photographs, though pleasant, are sometimes tangential: "mourning doves reminded Burroughs of their extinct relations, the passenger pigeons," reads one caption. The biography may succeed as an introduction to Burroughs's life, but in the end one wishes for more of the master's own prose and a better sense of its social context. --Pete Holloran Customer Reviews (18)
A Joy to Read
For the mind and the eyes
Too brief
Good pics but brief bio
Clear prose, meticulous research, stunningillustration "Most persons think the bee gets honey from theflowers, but she does not: honey is a product of the bee; it is the nectarof the flowers with the bee added. What the bee gets from the flower issweet water: this she puts through a process of her own and imparts to ither own quality." Kanze, like a good conversationalist, leads thereader gently through Burroughs' life and writings. Burroughs was a real19th-century figure: He consorted with the literary likes of John Muir andWilliam Dean Howells and in later life was a favorite of Teddy Rooseveltand Henry Ford -- not to mention the Vassar girls who visited him at hisrustic Hudson Valley hideaway, Slabsides. (Burroughs' private life was, ina word, difficult, and Kanze is unstinting in dealing with the birth of hisone -- illegitimate -- child.) It is not surprising that Kanze is anaturalist himself and has been a museum curator. The book has the feel ofa nature walk or a good museum exhibit, in which a subject not readilyfamiliar to the reader becomes fascinating with the help of a terrificguide. There are well-chosen historical photographs and the luminous naturephotography of the author, each photo chosen for its relevance to one oranother passage from Burroughs' work. Particularly moving are the photos ofBurroughs in Slabsides; paired with Kanze's own color photos of the house'spreserved interior.You find your eye traveling back and forth from the oldphoto to the new, to see the same fireplace stone here, the unpeeled birchdesk there. ...
