"A book of rare distinction..."

Book Description
An elegant and lively depiction of nine animals spending a spring day on Beetle Rock, a large expanse of granite in Sequoia National Park, One Day on Beetle Rock is a classic of American nature writing. Drawing on seven years of close observation and inspired by the work of natural scientists, Sally Carrighar wrote with exquisite detail, bringing readers to an exhilarating consciousness of the search for food and a safe place to sleep, the relationship between prey and predator, the marvelous skills and adaptations of nature.

Back in print in a beautiful new edition illustrated by Carl Dennis Buell, with a new foreword by David Rains Wallace, this is a book to treasure, to read and reread many times.
