false 12527 26 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. 2280883 book 1974 Pilgrim at Tinker Creek total:3389|5:1613|4:1015|3:501|2:171|1:89| 3389 14059 4912 541 5 4 false false Fri Nov 01 00:00:00 -0800 2002 Sat Jun 21 18:03:23 -0700 2008 Sat Jun 21 18:03:23 -0700 2008 5 more...]]> 5 4 false false Wed Jul 18 15:22:41 -0700 2007 Wed Jul 18 15:33:27 -0700 2007 more...]]> 1 4 false false Sat Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Tue Sep 04 14:16:41 -0700 2007 Tue Sep 04 14:22:15 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 2 false false Tue Apr 15 08:21:12 -0700 2008 Tue May 27 18:24:52 -0700 2008
