People Of The Whirlpool Esprios Classics

Mabel Osgood Wright (1859-1934) was an American author. She was an early leader in the Audubon movement who wrote extensively about nature and birds. She was born in New York City and was educated at home and in private schools. Wright's first printed work (apart from a few verses), was the essay "A New England May Day", which appeared in the New York Evening Post in 1893. This work was collected with other pieces into her first book, The Friendship of Nature, published by Macmillan in 1894. The following year, Wright released Birdcraft: A Field Book of Two Hundred Song, Game, and Water Birds.

Excerpt from People of the Whirlpool: From the Experience Book of a Commuter's Wife February 2. Candlemas and mild, gray weather. If the woodchuck stirs up his banked life-fire and ventures forth, he will not see his shadow, and must straightway arrange with winter for a rebate in our favour. To-day, however, it seems like the very dawn of winter, and as if the cloud brooms were abroad gathering snow from remote and chilly corners of the sky. Six years ago I began the planting of my garden, and at the same time my girlish habit of journal keeping veered into the making of a "Garden Boke," to be a reversible signal, crying danger in face of forgotten mistakes, then turning to give back glints of summer sunshine when read in the attic of winter days and blue Mondays. Now once again I am in the attic, writing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
