Description:A delight for children and adults, "The Entertaining Naturalist: Being Popular Descriptions, Tales, and Anecdotes of More Than Five Hundred Animals" is a comprehensive guide to zoology, both real and imagined. Jane W. Loudon was a fascinating naturalist, botanist and writer of the 20th Century. She is most remembered for being a pioneer in the establishment of science fiction, via her novel "The Mummy! A Tale of the Twenty-Second Century." She wrote "The Entertaining Naturalist: Being Popular Descriptions, Tales, and Anecdotes of More Than Five Hundred Animals" for the benefit of children eager to learn more about the natural world. The guide includes mammals, birds, amphibians, insects, mollusks, articulated and radiated animals, with the animals ordered according to their genus and both their modern and Linnaean names. Terms used in natural history are defined, which makes the book a great learning tool for young students eager to know more about science. Illustrations accompany each entry and kids are sure to love the anecdotes on each species. There are many great stories and historical references, for example, about a Mastiff dog who successfully faced down a lion during the reign of James I, which earned him a place in the King's castle. The most ingenious section of the book is called Fabulous Animals, which deals with some of the most popular animals in literature and art. The chapter begins of course with the dragon, and continues with magical animals such as the kraken, the phoenix, the griffin, the Pegasus and the unicorn. These fanciful descriptions connect science and biology with animals of the imagination, which will make the reader want to learn more about science and literature. "The Entertaining Naturalist: Being Popular Descriptions, Tales, and Anecdotes of More Than Five Hundred Animals" lives up to its name as an entertaining guidebook to the natural world. The prose is easy to read and includes the right mix of scientific fact, literary reference and illustration. It is a pleasure for all readers, regardless of age.
