Wild Season
1967

A nature novel that, by following the activities of one creature after another, tells the story of the delicate balance of nature in and around a small midwestern lake habitat. It shows how the lives of all plants and animals are very closely related in a natural balance and shows how, while survival in nature depends upon various species preying upon one another, yet there is never waste in nature and it is only man who deliberately wastes his precious natural resources. Winner of many awards, including the Friends of American Writers Award, this book has often been used as a classroom aid in the study of nature and ecology and has been excerpted into a number of textbooks. It was serialized in True magazine and reprinted in numerous foreign languages. It was also nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in fiction. Published in hardcover, paperback and trade paperback editions. Originally published in 1967 by Little, Brown & Co., Boston, MA, and is still in print by Landfall Press of Dayton, Ohio.
