In Green Laurels, Donald Culross Peattie combines his extensive
knowledge of history's foremost naturalists with his personal
observations about the subject to form what the New York Herald Tribune
calls a delightful book...one would not wish to miss on any account.
This piece is accurate and precise but according to Nation, there is not
a line which is not dramatically vivid and entertaining. Peattie's
enthusiasm and enlightened curiosity make Green Laurels appealing to
readers of all backgrounds.
