This edition of Wild Life in Woods and Fields from No Fear Schoolhouse Press contains the complete and unabridged text from the 1903 edition, all of the original images in black and white, plus over 10 illustrations unique to this edition. This edition also has a larger 16pt font size for earlier readers who are ready for short chapter books. Book 1 in Cassell's Eyes and No Eyes series, Wild Life in Woods and Fields by Arabella Buckley follows Peter, Peggy, and Paul as they interact with the plants and creatures around their home and on their way to school. From spiders to ant-hills, bumble bees to Peter's pet cat, they gain their own understanding of nature by observing it first hand. One of Arabella Buckley's 6 Eyes and No Eyes books was assigned every single term, for all of Form I in Charlotte Mason's PNEU schools. The educative quality and easy-to-read narrative style are still unsurpassed, and they would make a great addition to your homeschool nature study lessons today. From the Preface: "These books are intended to interest children in country life. They are written in the simplest language, so as to be fit for each class to read aloud. But the information given in them requires explanation and illustration by the teacher. I have, in fact, tried to make each lesson the groundwork for oral teaching, in the course of which the children should be encouraged to observe, to bring in specimens, and to ask questions. Then when the chapter is read and re-read, as is the case with most school books, it will become part of the child’s own knowledge." -Arabella Buckley (Mrs. Fisher) Description: 58 pages - Paperback glossy cover (no spine text) - Size: 6" x 9" - Black and white interior with cream colored paper
