In the summer, she stalks muskrats in the creek and contemplates wave mechanics; in the fall, she watches a monarch butterfly migration and dreams of Arctic caribou. She tries to con a coot; she collects pond water and examines it under a microscope. She unties a snake skin, witnesses a flood, and plays King of the Meadow with a field of grasshoppers. The result is an exhilarating tale of nature and its seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Harper Perennial Modern Classics","offers":[{"title":"Pilgrim at Tinker Creek | Annie Dillard | Paperback | 9780061233326 | New | Nature 1732901","offer_id":49923983540376,"sku":"1732901","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/51cJjT-Ev_L.jpg?v=1789574712","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/pilgrim-at-tinker-creek-1","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
