A fun-to-read collection of popular author Sally Roth's essays about birds, flowers, butterflies, and gardening.
Volume I (the red one) and Volume II (the blue one) are a two-volume set that includes years’ worth of Sally’s popular newspaper columns about nature, arranged chronologically into two volumes that read like a diary of sorts.
Volume I begins when Sally moved back to New Harmony, IN, after living in the Pacific Northwest for several years. Volume II ends when Sally & Matt got married, six years later.
Wherever you live, you’ll find plenty of good reading about nature stuff that’s going on in your yard, too. Plenty of Q&A pieces, too! (If you ever wrote to Sally, you may be in here ;) )
Each volume stands on its own as a great book for nature lovers. Enjoy!
Sally Roth is an award-winning author of 20 or so popular books about birds, nature, and gardening, including the best-selling "Backyard Bird Feeder's Bible," and a contributing editor for "Birds & Blooms" magazine.
Her latest book is "An Eye on the Sparrow: The Bird Lover's Bible," which uses quotes from the Bible as a jumping-off point for examining the natural behavior of the birds behind those Scriptures. It's a bird book, and it's for everyone, religious or not.
Sally's also an enthusiastic public speaker, whether it's grabbing a stranger on the street ("Hey, want to see something cool?") or talking to an audience of hundreds ("Hey, want to see something cool?"). She'll be appearing in the Michiana area (northern Indiana/Michigan) in early spring of 2013, as well as other places.
She and her husband Matt Bartmann share their home in the high Rockies with two dogs, one cat, a family of pine squirrels, a hard-working packrat named Sisyphus, a spotted skunk who lives beneath the house, a well-fed bunch of birds at the feeder, and a stable of old Volvos.
