...each shining hour is a slouch compared to a great many natural-history writers. Such a one is Britain's John Crompton, who has proved once again that a true passion-even a love of man for insect-is the substance of literature. Displaying a talent that recalls Rachel (The Sea Around Us) Carson, Apiarist Crompton has in the past written engagingly on the ant, the hunting wasp and the spider. But evidently the bee is his true poetic faith-and the bee in his bonnet is as good as a sonnet...

...keeping her identity a mystery. But Mrs. Nancy Bodington does not mind identifying herself. She is a lady in her 40s who has used the pseudonym Shelley Smith for "mysteries because she wanted to save her real name for "the kind of books I wanted to write, such as Rachel Weeping." On the strength of this book, the more remarkable because she has no children, she is almost ready to use her own name.
