Description
|
|
|
|
Quirky, erudite, and eminently readable, the 54 essays comprising Riviera Nature Notes give a vibrant and clear picture of plant and animal life in the South of France at the turn of the 20th century, as well as insight into the social mores of the time. Preferring to remain anonymous as a naturalist, not only out of modesty but also to guard the integrity of his liturgical writings, its clergyman author speaks of olives and pines, myrtles and figs, mosquitoes and rare butterflies—to name but a few of his subjects—with passion and verve.
