It is about love, advocates a positive attitude and encourages the reader to discover his connection with nature. The Magical Hammock.

The story, profusely illustrated in watercolors by the author, is embedded with nursery rhymes, philosophy, ecology, botany, endangered species, Indian names, environmental issues, history and local landmarks; facts about Florida presented in a childish way; a beautiful memento and gift for all ages.

 

ABOUT THE AUTHOREdgar Azell DeLaney, Jr., “E.A.”, is a second generation native Floridian and life-long resident of Avon Park, Florida.  A decorated veteran of the Eight Air Force, E.A. is one of the less than one percent, to survive the initial quota of twenty-five missions over Nazi Germany. He was awarded the the Distinguished Flying Cross, two Presidential Unit Citations, A Commendation from Prime Minister Winston Churchill, the Air Medal with Three Oak Leaf Clusters.

He recalls his intense interest when, at the age of eight, his father introduced him to the Seminole Chief, Billy Bowlegs III.

His enthusiasm for nature and his love for orchids led him to the rainforests of  Mexico, Central and South America.

E.A. was familiar with a pristine, wild Florida, covered with an estimated seventy-five million acres of virgin cypress, pine and hardwood timber.  He remembers the saw-mills and crate mills operating day and night.  By late 1954, the vast virgin forest, except for a few remnants, was gone.
