In the summer, she 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. The result is an exhilarating tale of nature and its seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 0061233323\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9780061233326\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Dillard, Annie, N\/A, N\/A\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Harper Perennial\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Harper Perennial","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Sep 2013)","offer_id":45660028403909,"sku":"9780061233326","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9780061233326.jpg?v=1768916817","url":"https:\/\/www.inveni.store\/products\/pilgrim-at-tinker-creek","provider":"Inveni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
