On a raw November night Sharp pulls on his rubber boots and wades the flooded meadow to see the muskrats building their lodges. His essays follow the turn of the seasons on the land around his home, from winter tracks and the first shad-bush blossom to returning birds, basking turtles, woodchucks and the last yellow embers of the witch-hazel.

Warm, observant nature writing in the tradition of John Burroughs. Download the free EPUB.
