Hidden World Revealed is a collection of short works by Tom Seymour previously published in his blog "Wild Plants and Wooly Bears." In Hidden World Revealed Seymour discusses his interaction with animal neighbors and explores plants and seasonal changes. Each piece reflects Maine rural life. The narratives of his walks in the woods are instructive about the natural environment and revealing of a human who walks lightly on the earth. A humble man with a fine mind invites us to know our Maine woodlands and rural neighbors. A great book to read every day of the year.

Reviews
This is a funny, perceptive and sensitive observation of nature written by a man who truly loves animals, plants, insects, weather and human nature.
—Bill Bushnell, Morning Sentinel
Just about any amateur naturalist who pays attention to the birds, beasts, flowers and seasons in campestral Maine will find an eye-opener or two here. Earthworms are not native to the Northeast, we learn. The live-forever flower is also called orpine, and you can eat the leaves. There are lists of things to do with fiddleheads, fun things to do while clamming (along with some good-natured griping about closed flats), and many thoughts on cold weather, which is on everybody's natural mind here for longer than we care to remember during summer.
—Dana Wilde, Bangor Daily News

What our Customers say

Nancy E. Randolph, JWB owner, markets my titles on a wide scale. She also sets up book signings. I find it infinitely more enjoyable and rewarding to work with this Maine-based publisher than to deal with national publishers from out-of-state.
Finally, JWB does not publish just any aspiring author. Randolph is very selective, accepting only material that she is convinced will sell. I highly recommend JWB to any author.
