For eighteen years Mason Walton lived alone on a wooded hill and let the wild animals come to him. Satan the raccoon, Bismarck the red squirrel, a bold white-footed mouse: each became a friend with a name and a story. Nature versus medicine, told by a man the woods healed. Move into the hermit's cabin and meet his neighbors.
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.
