An Historical Novel Based on Mostly True Events
Sunday, February 4th at 3:00PM
at Dedee Shattuck Gallery
An Illustrated Talk by Ann B. Parson
“The Birds of Dog” opens in the early days of the Boston Society of Natural History, closes with the founding of the Audubon Society and along the way brings together diverse stories about 19th-century America’s emerging sciences and its first scientists. Ann Parson will talk about the coming-of-age of the early sciences, recount lost stories and forgotten pioneers, read a few passages from her book and explain what inspired her to write her first fiction after several nonfiction titles. The Boston Society of Natural History eventually evolved into Boston’s Museum of Science.
