I read a review of this book in World magazine and was intrigued.
What an amazing woman Nan Songer was!! She raised spiders to harvest silk for crosshairs for gunsights during WW II. This book details how she learned their habits, fed them, and harvested their silk. Her perseverance with her "hobby" is inspiring!
Nan Songer's family granted the author permission to read through her unpublished journals to enrich this story.
**Highly, highly recommend.
-Borrowed from the library.
