Pilgrim At Tinker Creek
Annie Dillard, 1974, HarperCollins Press, 271 pages, hardcover.
Very good condition, pages clean and bright, top edge of pages have a couple small stains and show age, binding tight, dust jacket in fair condition, shows shelf wear and age.
An exhilarating meditation on nature and its seasons—a personal narrative highlighting one year's exploration on foot in the author's own neighborhood in Tinker Creek, Virginia. In the summer, Dillard stalks muskrats in the creek and contemplates wave mechanics; in the fall she watches a monarch butterfly migration and dreams of Arctic caribou. She tries to con a coot; she collects pond water and examines it under a microscope. She unties a snake skin, witnesses a flood, and plays 'King of the Meadow' with a field of grasshoppers.
