ncluding an extensive annotation on the life of Gene Stratton-Porter. *** Before the age of recording, one woman ventured into the forests, marshes, and meadows of Indiana with a camera and an open heart - and brought back something extraordinary. In Music of the Wild, naturalist and author Gene Stratton-Porter invites readers into a world alive with sound: the liquid trill of the wood thrush at dawn, the percussive knock of the woodpecker echoing through cathedral oaks, the chorus of frogs rising from a moonlit swamp. With the lyrical prose that made her one of America's most beloved writers and the keen eye of a lifelong naturalist, Stratton-Porter reveals the intricate, breathtaking symphony that plays ceaselessly in the natural world - if only we would stop to listen. First published in 1910, this luminous work is part field guide, part love letter to the vanishing wilderness of the American Midwest. Stratton-Porter's writing pulses with wonder and urgency, reminding us that every creature has its voice, and that the loss of any one diminishes the whole great song. For readers of Annie Dillard, Robin Wall Kimmerer, and John Muir - and for anyone who has ever paused on a country path and felt the world speak - Music of the Wild is an essential and enduring treasure. *** The series Large Print Reader's Choice features classic books with a font size of at least 16 points.
