“Charming...In a world that often separates science and culture like church and state, this book reminds us that, for Nabokov, butterflies helped shape ‘a habitual way of looking at the world’ that was ultimately conducive to great literature and to great lepidoptery alike.”-—New York Times Book Review
“...a grand book: erudite, generous, and wise. It is written with a grace and intelligence worthy of its eponymous subject.”-—Boston Globe
“Readers with a taste for science and literature will love this book, which is both entertaining and polymathically informative—rather like the English/Russian, naturalist/novelist/scholar/artist Nabokov himself.”---Publishers Weekly (starred review)
