About this ebook
This edition includes a modern introduction and a list of suggested further reading.
Signs and Seasons reminds Americans about the virtues of a simple lifestyle. Enjoyed by everyone from schoolchildren to presidents, John Burroughs’ casual, entertaining style made him one of the first great nature writers. In this delightful book, first published in 1886, he reflects on the spiritual value of nature, a lesson still relevant to the twenty-first century.
