Who was... John Henri Fabre?
The books of Jean Henri Fabre, replete with lively accounts of his observations on nature, inspired generations of children from all over the world. The detail in his study of insects and the entertaining presentation allowed readers to absorb his fascination. Yet, he was a physics teacher by profession and virtually self taught on matters of entomology.
