I saved this book, unwilling even to open it until I had the time to savour and enjoy it, to indulge myself with the further reading that I knew I would want to do. In ''At Large And At Small'' Anne Fadiman has returned to one of her favourite genres - the familiar essay. Few people can do this well with its need for intellectual breadth and sharp focus on the everyday but for me Fadiman is one of the pre-eminent essayists of her day.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending this book to The Bookbag - it has been a real pleasure to read.

|comment= Wonderful! You really, really sold it to me (and probably even more the other book).
What's wrong with butterflies, though?
