While an illness keeps her bedridden, Elisabeth Bailey watches a wild snail that has taken up residence in a terrarium alongside her bed. She enters the rhythm of life of this mysterious creature, and comes to a greater understanding of her own confined place in the world. In a work that beautifully demonstrates the rewards of closely observing nature, she shares the inspiring and intimate story of her close encounter with Neohelix albolabris ¿ a common woodland snail. Intrigued by the snail¿s world ¿ from its strange anatomy to its mysterious courtship activities ¿ she becomes a fascinated and amused observer of the snail¿s curious life.
