Wonderful collection of essays on all manner of creatures. As always, lovely writing by Craig brings each one to life.

"You wouldn't want to stand outside for more than a few minutes in that kind of winter. If you lived through only one of those winters the way this elk has, you would write books about it. You would become a shaman. You would be forever changed. That elk from the winter stands there on the summer evening, watching from beside the forest. It keeps it story to itself."
