Search the Archives because we had quite a bit of stuff about Darwin's book on worms. It was his last book and one of his best selling works! I have a copy of the 1st edition, and yes, I have read it!

    I believe that Charles Darwin, between the publication of the Origin of Species and the Ascent (or Descent) of man, wrote a book about worms. Of course, I never met anyone who read it.
