Mr. Borland was graduated from the Columbia School of Journalism. He also attended the University of Colorado and received a Litt.D. from there in 1944.
Hal Borland had a long history of wonderful nature editorials in the New York Times and later collected in books. This book, while short, gives the reader a glimpse of the essential Hal Borland style of writing and nature appreciation. Adding to the writing are the excellent paintings that are perfectly paired with each month's selection. Not to be missed by any Borland or nature fan.
