Sobre este artículo
NY: Dodd, Mead, 1951. First edition. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. Signed by Klingel on the front free endpaper. Uncommon signed, and this Dodd, Mead hardcover edition seemingly uncommon or scarce in general. Third printing, 1952, the year after first publication. Glowing blurbs by Rachel Carson, Edwin Way Teale, Helen Cruickshank, and N.J. Berrill. This book won the John Burroughs Medal for natural history writing in 1953 (the year after Rachel Carson won it for *The Sea Around Us*). Green cloth with blue top stain. A very good book with clean cloth boards, gently rubbed at edges, and faint foxing to outer text block edge and FFEP. Bookplate belonging to J Benton Schaub also on FFEP below Klingel's signature. In a very good jacket with edge wear and very short tears at spine corners..

Sobre Rural Hours
Rural Hours (formerly Wood + River = Books, est. 2019) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, environmental literature, and contemporary essay, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. We draw our name from the popular-but-then-forgotten book by Susan Fenimore Cooper (published in 1850), generally considered the first work of environmental creative nonfiction by a woman in the U.S. We are interested in challenging and expanding the canon of environmental literature and finding books that tell remarkable stories and illuminate the tradition of writing about place and natural history.
