О книге
Audubon's life naturally divides itself into three periods: his youth, which was on the whole a gay and happy one, and which lasted till the time of his marriage at the age of twenty-eight; his business career which followed, lasting ten or more years, and consisting mainly in getting rid of the fortune his father had left him; and his career as an ornithologist which, though attended with great hardships and privations, brought him much happiness and, long before the end, substantial pecuniary rewards. (Summary from the Preface)

Fasinating & rich to listen to. Years ago I saw a great exebition of his work in NYC- was filled with Awe. Now have 12 large dinner plates perhaps from the same show each with a different bird - I treasure them. So good to have more background about his life. Plan to more research about him and find more lmages. Thank you!
