About This Item
NY: Houghton Mifflin, 1984. First edition. Hardcover. Fine/Near fine. Inscribed on the title page: "For Sandra and Eldon Youngblood, Thanks so much for your love of wild places and those who live there. Best always, Mark Owens, Delia Owens, 13 September 1985." The inscription is in Mark's hand, but Delia has signed her named. Uncommon signed. This book won the John Burroughs Medal for natural history writing, and of course many years later Delia would go on to great fame and success for her novel *Where the Crawdads Sing.* Color photo inserts. A fine book in a very near fine price-clipped jacket with just a bit of edge wear to top of spine. Included is a brochure program for "The Mane Event" put on by the Dallas Zoological Society and presenting Mark and Delia Owens, as well as an L.S.B Leaky Foundation brochure..

About Rural Hours
Rural Hours (formerly Wood + River = Books, est. 2019) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, environmental literature, and contemporary essay, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. We draw our name from the popular-but-then-forgotten book by Susan Fenimore Cooper (published in 1850), generally considered the first work of environmental creative nonfiction by a woman in the U.S. We are interested in challenging and expanding the canon of environmental literature and finding books that tell remarkable stories and illuminate the tradition of writing about place and natural history.
