About this Item
265 p. interspersed with plates. 26 cm. Tipped-in colour frontispiece and 12 other tipped-in colour plates by Detmold. Green cloth with gold print. Some dents to bottom edges, soiling to cloth. Hinges professionally repaired. Clean, neat pages. "It is not my intention to write a treatise on apiculture, or on practical bee-keeping" begins Maeterlinck and it might be said that this volume pertains more to life than it does to bees. The Life of the Bee is for readers curious about a brilliant thinker's meditations on nature. Not surprisingly, Maeterlinck won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1911. A beautiful volume, illustrated by the gifted Edward J. Detmold. Seller Inventory # 131783
