Publisher Annotation: Whether it's helping a hummingbird escape, respecting a bear's habitat, admiring a heron's beauty, or giving way to ants at a picnic, the human response in these poems is to do no harm, and to help whenever possible. The poems follow a seasonal progression, ending with a final poem that imagines where each animal might be on a winter night.

El propio Federico García Lorca, profundo conocedor de la historia del cante jondo, supo referirlo en una conferencia suya y vaticinar algunas de las intenciones de su Poema del cante jondo:
"El "cante jondo" se acerca al triunfo del pájaro y a las músicas naturales del chopo y la ola; es simple a fuerza de vejez y de estilización. Es, pues, un rarísimo ejemplar de canto primitivo, el más viejo de toda Europa, donde la ruina histórica, el...

Originally published in 1915, this work was partly meant as a sequel to the author's popular work ""German Spies in England."" I is a collection of rallying chapters about the perils of going war and the problems which must be overcome if Britain was to be victorious. The fact that this publication was written so early in the war gives great insight into the public fears as Europe embarked on years of bloodshed.
