Books with author Arabella B 1840-1929 Buckley

The Fairy-Land of Science, by author Arabella B. Buckley, is a somewhat bold promise, seeing that most readers probably look upon science as a bundle of dry facts, while fairy-land is all that is beautiful, and full of poetry and imagination. The author thoroughly believes, and hopes to prove to you, that science is full of beautiful pictures, of real poetry, and of wonder-working fairies; and more, promises you they shall be true fairies, whom you will love just as much when you are old and grayheaded as when you are young; for you will be able to call them up whenever you wander by land or by sea, through meadow or through wood, through water or through air; and though they themselves will always remain invisible, you will see their wonderful poet at work everywhere around you.

2 Audio CD's - 1 hour and 22 Minutes. Birds of the Air is another wonderful volume in the science series by Arabella Buckley, a science educator who had a great love of nature and wished to impart that love to children. The book begins with familiar birds of home and garden, and goes on to water birds and birds of prey. Children learn how to identify birds, why birds sing songs, how they build nests, lay their eggs, and raise their young, where birds sleep, and how they feed in summer, migrate in autumn, and survive the winter. An engaging and enjoyable volume that will encourage the youthful listener to a love for science and an awe of God's creative ways with our fine-feathered friends!

To summarise this book, let me quote you from its introduction: "Most of you probably look upon science as a bundle of dry facts, while fairy-land is all that is beautiful, and full of poetry and imagination. But I thoroughly believe myself, and hope to prove to you, that science is full of beautiful pictures, of real poetry, and of wonder-working fairies; and what is more, I promise you they shall be true fairies, whom you will love just as much when you are old and grayheaded as when you are young".( Amazon customer) NOT A REPRINT.
