John Burroughs comes home to the Hudson and writes from among the wild flowers. These essays wander to the heart of the southern Catskills, dwell on birds' eggs and bird courtship, and carry notes from the open prairie. Gentle, sharp-eyed nature writing from an American master. Slow down and see the countryside the way Burroughs did.

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.
