Book Author: Elizabeth Tova Bailey

This book is truly a stunning piece. A true gem. Written in 2010, this award winning book should be considered a timeless non-fiction classic.

Bailey’s observations of the snail written in tandem with her descriptions of her mysterious health condition are at times devastating, yet at most times, hopeful. No other book has made me run around spewing interesting facts with gusto like this book. The mix of Baileys observations, with scientific facts and the prodigious quotes of various naturalists will have you sucked in.

I will be slinging this book at anybody who will listen. I will treasure this book for the rest of my days. I will read this when I need a smile, or some peace, or some hope, or grounding. This book is worth more than the five stars I’m able to give it on this platform.

I rate this 5 out of 5 snails

This book has apparently also been adapted into a short film which I now NEED to see. https://wildsnailfilm.org/
