John Burroughs gathers a year of the American countryside into a handful of perfect essays. A snow-storm, the winter neighbors at the feeder, the first stir of spring: each is watched with the patience that made him the nation's favorite naturalist. Clear, companionable nature writing. Walk the fields through the seasons with a quiet master.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
