William Long tells the woods from the animal's point of view. A woodcock genius, a kingfisher's kindergarten, a fat little woodchuck, and a bear he calls a little brother: each gets a story built on patient watching. Warm, controversial nature writing that treats wild lives as real lives. Slip into the forest and see it from the inside.

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.
