Greystone BooksWhen the Wild Comes Leaping UpPersonal Encounters with Nature
These essays describe childhood memories, everyday walks trans-formed into life-changing events, being in the grip of a great force, startling encounters with wild animals and even one fantasy. They are funny, sad, reflective, optimistic, nostalgic, exciting, pessimistic and outlandish. Each one presents a singular experience of enlightenment, awe, passion, outrage, sadness or exhilaration. All are beautifully written and powerfully felt.
