[NY], Dodd, Mead, 1953. "The Journal of a Naturalist's Year." Inscribed by the author: "Presented to The Woodland School Library [Joliet, IL] in memory of Anne L. Smith by her pupil -- Edwin Way Teale/ May 4, 1955." Illustrated with 24 photographs by Teale. Fine in a very near fine dust jacket with trace shelf wear. Teale wrote nearly three dozen books in his lifetime, including Near Horizons, which won the John Burroughs Medal, and Wandering Through Winter, which won the Pulitzer Prize, but books signed by him are uncommon. A very nice copy. [#035606] SOLD
