Dune Boy: The Early Years of a Naturalist by Edwin Way Teale

rachelsnowden's review against another edition

5.0

I have really enjoyed the nature writings of Teale that I have read, so I picked this up initially thinking it might be nature writing focused on our region, which was exciting. But, what it actually is was totally different but a surprise delight. This is a memoir of his childhood times spent on the farm of his grandparents in the Dunes region. It was funny and nostalgic without being sappy and just an utter delight. I loved it! And, it made it especially wonderful to have a little glimpse into the history of our area and what it was like in those years.
