About This Item
New York: Dodd, Mead, 1960. First edition. Hardcover. Near fine/Very good. Inscribed in the year of publication on the half-title page in blue ink: "For Bess Kirnie [sp?], with greetings from Trail Wood--Edwin Way Teale, November 21, 1960." Trail Wood was his farm, much written about, in Connecticut. Uncommon signed, as is pretty much all of Teale's books. Part of The American Seasons series, four books, that Edwin Way Teale is best known for (the fourth, Wandering through Winter, won the Pulitzer Prize). Here Teale meanders from New England along the Great Lakes down to Colorado, and as the jacket argues, "Altogether is makes as pleasant a summer as you have ever spent." A near fine book with a bit of toning and faint foxing to text block faces; in a very good jacket with a touch of rumpling to spine, some loss to upper spine, and wear to corners.

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.
