Jean-Henri Casimir Fabre was a French entomologist and author. He was born in St. Léons in Aveyron, France. Fabre was largely an autodidact, owing to the poverty of his family. Nevertheless, he acquired a primary teaching certificate at the young age of 19 and began teaching at the college of Ajaccio, Corsica, called Carpentras. In 1852, he taught at the lycée in Avignon.

I can’t understand most of this. I think it’s probably very educational:) I recommend this to anyone who is bilingual.

A brilliant description of his experiments. Dramatic, engaging, witty. Wonderful.

Might be helpful for some cheese board lover

I am not learning much from it, perhaps if the chapters were shorter and more clear I would like this more. I would put this on the "slightly helpful but at the same time annoying for those who don't like spiders" category
