While not all narrators offer top notch performance, the overall results are still quite impressive and this is a solid educational audiobooks for interested parties.

Bradford Torrey was a U.S. Ornithologist and devoted most of his life to studying the various plants and animals that live within Florida. He has been a constant contributor for periodicals and has published several books about his studies. A Florida Sketchbook might be a tad difficult to understand as it still uses the old English way of speaking. As such, it might not be the best choice for modern listeners until it is edited to suit today’s grammar. Nonetheless, A Florida Sketchbook offers an in depth look of the ecosystem found in Florida by one of the state’s top ornithologist and in the most detailed method possible.
