NYRB Classics is pleased to announce the publication of the late Douglas Parmée’s new translation of Jules Renard’s
Histoires Naturelles.

esprit which is somewhere between and beyond humor and wit and which is essentially what these short commentaries on the bird and animal world display.” —

I was a child backyard cook. I made salads of dandelion heads or clover leaves and even baked up
a mud pie or two. But truth be told, I wasn’t very inventive. Like an overworked parent serving
macaroni and cheese night after night, I tended to fall back on a few favorite dishes that required
little thought. Is it any wonder that my dolls, and eventually even the tiniest neighborhood ants,
turned down my invitations to dine?
