I have the "gift book" version of this book, which is a bit smaller, and squarer in shape.

Now I don't know if it's because of that version of the book, but quite a number of pictures were severely over saturated, and sometimes blurry. Which seems weirdly incongruent with the otherwise wonderful quality of the photography.

Additionally, I did not like the texts so much, focusing mostly on mysticism surrounding trees. The picture notes in the appendix at the very end of the book were much more informative, but sadly not integrated into the book's text.

Overall, I liked the pictures, but not the text or the print. Perhaps the bigger original version is better.

Wonderful collection of little stories about different kinds of animals. Most of it is presented as factual, and some of it is, and some clearly isn't. But all of the stories are marvelous and silly. I'm not sure if it was more the writing or the translation, but the style greatly reminded me of Lydia Davis, one of my favorite writers.

A collection of stories and legends featuring snakes from various cultures, including Native American, Mexican, Slavic, Chinese, Irish, Indian, Palestinian, German and more. Also includes passages from naturalists like Darwin and John Muir, and a bit of poetry from Dickinson. Backmatter includes sources for all the tales. Also includes a short introduction by McNamee.
