About This Item
MacFadden Bartell, 1970. 1st Edition. Soft cover. Near Fine. Signed by Teale on the title page. An interesting volume, a mass paperback that's apparently scarce, with no other copies seemingly available and only four copies in libraries according to OCLC (only two in the US). A "Ladder Edition": As the front wrap declares, "This special edition is for readers for whom English is a second language. It can be read by anyone who has learned 2,000 words of English." It's an adaptation of Teale's Dune Boy, his memoir remembering his boyhood in the Sandhill Country, and is illustrative of a special effort to connect young or new readers of English to nature. A handsome little book, and undoubtedly extremely rare signed by Teale, whose signatures are uncommon in the first place. Near fine with toning to pages--great condition for a mass market paperback.

About 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.
