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\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Non-Fiction\"\u003e非小說 Non-Fiction\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Nature+Writing\"\u003e自然書寫 Nature Writing\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Literary+Nonfiction\"\u003e文學非小說 Literary Nonfiction\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Essays\"\u003e散文 Essays\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Natural+History\"\u003e自然史 Natural History\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Philosophy+of+Nature\"\u003e自然哲學 Philosophy of Nature\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Spirituality\"\u003e靈性 Spirituality\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=American+Literature\"\u003e美國文學 American Literature\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Pulitzer+Prize\"\u003e普立茲獎 Pulitzer Prize\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Annie Dillard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67891867255090,"sku":"9780061233326","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0807\/4772\/5106\/files\/9780061233326.jpg?v=1790799180","url":"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/products\/pilgrim-at-tinker-creek-harper-perennial-modern-classics-by-annie-dillard","provider":"Starry Ferry Books 星渡書店","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
