I have just ordered your book -- I don't know how it is possible I have not already read it. I LOVE books about naturalists. I don't know why. I'd like to think if I'd been a man at the turn of the century, I'd have gone to the Amazon looking for critters too. Easy to say! Anyway, I can't WAIT to read it, and I'm really looking forward to meeting you!<BR/>-LainiLaini Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14064837312936707024noreply@blogger.com
