Jean-Henri Fabre Lot of 6 Science Audiobooks for Children Insects in 6 MP3 CDs Jean-Henri Fabre (1823 - 1915) Jean-Henri Casimir Fabre was a French naturalist, entomologist, and author known for the lively style of his popular books on the lives of insects. Insect AdventuresJean-Henri Fabre and Louise Seymour Hasbrouck Zimm Translated by Alexander Teixeira de MattosRead by Multiple ReadersRunning Time:05:52:23 in 1 MP3 Audio CDThis book is composed of selections from Alexander Teixeira de Mattos’ Translation of Fabre’s “Souvenirs Entomologiques,” retold for children. It's made up of first-person narratives, and using his exceptional observation skills, gives us a close-up peep into the world of insects, including bees, wasps, worms, beetles, moths, and spiders, to name a few. When Fabre first published this work, as the Preface indicates, he was criticized by some scientists in his field for writing a scientific book that was "too interesting."

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.

Jean Henri Fabre also made waves in his native 19th Century France by insisting that girls be included in his science classes, so I dedicate this recording to certain young women who risk their lives or even the less important attentions of boys simply to learn.

Such instances of antiquated usage or superseded methods as occur in these chapters of popular science easily win our indulgence because of the literary charm and warm human quality investing all that the author has to say.

The translator explains in her foreword, "The young in heart and the pure in heart of whatever age will find themselves drawn to this incomparable story-teller, this reverent reveler of the awe-inspiring secrets of nature. The identity of the "Uncle Paul," who in this book and others of the series plays the story-teller's part, is not hard to guess; and the young people who gather about him to listen to his true stories from wood and field, from brook and hilltop, from distant ocean and adjacent millpond, are, without doubt, the author's own children, in whose companionship he delighted and whose education he conducted with wise solicitude." 1 01 - The Six06:192 02 - The Fairy Tale and the True Story3 - The Building of the City4 - The Cows5 - The Sheepfold6 - The Wily Dervish7 - A Numerous Family8 - The Old Pear-Tree9 - The Age of Trees10 - The Length of Animal Life11 - The Kettle12 - The Metals13 - Metal Plating14 - Gold and Iron15 - The Fleece16 - Flax and Hemp17 - Cotton18 - Paper19 - The Book20 - Printing21 - Butterflies22 - The Big Eaters23 - Silk24 - The Metamorphosis25 - Spiders26 - The Epeira's Bridge27 - The Spider's Web28 - The Chase29 - Venomous Insects30 - Venom31 - The Viper and the Scorpion32 - The Nettle33 - Processionary Caterpillars34 - The Storm35 - Electricity36 - The Experiment with the Cat37 - The Experiment with Paper38 - Franklin and De Romas39 - Thunder and the Lightning-Rod40 - Effects of the Thunderbolt41 - Clouds42 - The Velocity of Sound43 - The Experiment with the Bottle of Cold Water44 - Rain45 - Volcanoes46 - Catania47 - The Story of Pliny48 - The Boiling Pot49 - The Locomotive50 - Emile's Observation51 - A Journey to the End of the World52 - The Earth53 - The Atmosphere54 - The Sun55 - Day and Night56 - The Year and Its Seasons57 - Belladonna Berries58 - Poisonous Plants59 - The Blossom60 - Fruit61 - Pollen62 - The Bumble-Bee63 - Mushrooms64 - In the Woods65 - The Orange-Agaric66 - Earthquakes67 - Shall We Kill Them Both?68 - The Thermometer69 - The Subterranean Furnace70 - Shells71 - The Spiral Snail72 - Mother-of-Pearl and Pearls73 - The Sea74 - Waves Salt Seaweeds75 - Running Waters76 - The Swarm77 - Wax78 - The Cells79 - Honey 80 - The Queen-Bee Our Audiobooks are Complete and Unabridged (unless otherwise indicated)Our Audiobooks are always read by real people, never by computers.Please Note: These recorded readings are from the author's original works which are in the public domain.
