A Walk Through the Year

Rating:
Summary: Thoughtful and deliberate
Review: I have an out-of-print copy of "A Walk Through The Year" I bought some years ago from a second-hand bookstore. Teale's essays on each day are similar in conception to Hal Borland's "The Twelve Moons Of the Year". Teale (who is now deceased) is a more philosophical writer than Borland, though. There are old mis-conceptions set right, a little science and sometimes a nature lecture. Walk with him and his wife Nellie and it's like getting a nice nature lecture along the way each time. A very pleasant read from a wise and patient naturalist.
