Field, Forest and Farm Things interesting to young nature-lovers, including some matters of moment to gardeners and fruit-growers

** "Field, Forest and Farm" by Jean-Henri Fabre connects to a scientific exploration of nature through the lens of agriculture and ecology. It begins with Uncle Paul sharing his wisdom about wheat with his young nephews during their summer explorations, teaching them the conversion of wheat to flour and the evolution of bread. The narrative then moves into the nutritional importance of wheat and its gluten. The book's approach blends instructional dialogue with historical context, designed to involve readers in the complexities of farming practices and the vital contributions of plants to expansive ecological systems. **
