CHRIS PACKHAM'A miniature masterpiece.' THE INDEPENDENT'Charming and absorbing.' THE TIMESIn celebration of its fifteen year anniversary, and including a new foreword by Helen Macdonald, this multi-award winning account of a close encounter with nature will delight readers everywhere. While an illness keeps her bedridden, Elisabeth Tova Bailey watches a wild snail that has taken up residence in a flowerpot alongside her bed. She enters the rhythm of life of this mysterious creature, and comes to a greater understanding of her own confined place in the world. In a work that beautifully demonstrates the rewards of closely observing nature, she shares the inspiring and intimate story of her connection with Neohelix albolabris – a common woodland snail. Intrigued by the snail’s world – from its strange anatomy to its mysterious courtship activities – she becomes a fascinated and amused observer of the snail’s curious life. The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating reveals how much of the natural world we overlook in our busy daily lives, while affirming the extraordinary life of even the tiniest of species. A remarkable journey of survival and resilience, this beautiful book shows how a small part of the natural world can illuminate our own human existence and deepen our appreciation of what it means to be fully alive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Wildlife","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48241228513515,"sku":"EB_SC0900_F08-01_SIMS","price":28.34,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781399418997-1.jpg?v=1787823749","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9781399418997","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
