About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of Book of Monsters by David Fairchild; Marian Fairchild. Read in English by Jonathon Kirk. “Book of Monsters” by David and Marian Fairchild was published in 1914. Riveting descriptions of spiders and insects, from the perspective of both predator and prey, draw the reader into a world beyond the human perspective. Insightful accounts are given of body structures and behaviors employed by insects in their struggle to exist – a struggle which may conflict or align with that of the humans in their environment, and cause them to be viewed as enemy or ally. Additional enjoyment is provided by the explanation of innovative and elaborate photography techniques used to capture the images of the insects. - Summary by Jonathon Kirk
