The Animal Dialogues: Uncommon Encounters in the Wild by Craig Childs
5.0
This is without a doubt one of the most beautifully written books I have ever read.
A series of vignettes, some longer, some very brief, detailing the authors encounters with the animal of the chapters title. But really so much more..... a sense of the environment at the time, the mood of the author, even a venue for the factual extra ordinariness of the animal in question.
All this in language that is a joy to read. Words strung together in such a way as to take your breath away, stop your reading and savor the sentence.
Childs has other works published and I will be seeking them out.
