The Roy Bedichek Family Letters Selected by Jane Gracy Bedichek Roy Bedichek, author of Adventures with a Texas Naturalist and close friend of J. Frank Dobie and Walter Prescott Webb, loved both reading and writing letters. The collection shows once again what talent Bedichek had for describing the world around him, and for expressing his opinion of that world, but they also reveal his interest and involvement in his children's lives and his sense of humor in dealing with them, with his pets, and with the wildlife he became famous for observing.
