“Brilliant.” —The New York Review of Books

In a work that beautifully demonstrates the rewards of closely observing nature, Elisabeth Tova Bailey shares an inspiring and intimate story of her encounter with a Neohelix albolabris—a common woodland snail.

While an illness keeps her bedridden, Bailey watches a wild snail that has taken up residence on her nightstand. As a result, she discovers the solace and sense of wonder that this mysterious creature brings and comes to a greater understanding of her own place in the world.

Intrigued by the snail’s molluscan anatomy, cryptic defenses, clear decision making, hydraulic locomotion, and courtship activities, Bailey becomes an astute and amused observer, offering a candid and engaging look into the curious life of this underappreciated small animal.

The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating is a remarkable journey of survival and resilience, showing us how a small part of the natural world can illuminate our own human existence, while providing an appreciation of what it means to be fully alive.

Soft as Rabbits Fur🥰
Size: 60''x80'', Color: Ombré Silver Onyx, Size: 60''x80'', Color: Ombré Silver Onyx
The softest blanket. Feels like sleeping with rabbit fur. I did anticipate it being a little heavier and it was not but that is ok I love it non the less. Would recommend to anyone! I have not attempted to wash it yet as the last one I ruined washing so were gonna wait as long as possible before washing this one. I would def recommend not drying. It has a luxurious high quality feeling to it that keeps me thinking about it all day! It's not to thick therefore it its too hot but keeps you comfortably warm. Amazon offered a %20 discount at checkout. The Blanket ended up being cheaper than I thought it would be So far I've used it for a couple weeks and 0 signs of shedding! I use it on my bed as I don't want it to get ruined. I fold it up each morning and put it away. I ordered the 60×80it fits a twin sized bed. I love this size and won't order anything smaller.

Ultra Luxurious and Washable
Size: 50''x60'', Color: Ombré Hazel Brown
I’ve never written a review this fast. This throw is the height of luxury, style, comfort, feel and appearance. I used on our bed, only on my side as my husband has different temp needs. It doesn’t shed. I only needed the 50x60 inches, but it’s available in 50x80. What clinched the purchase for me was that it is washable and can be tumbled dried. It’s the perfect weight. Not too light and not too heavy. (Goldilocks would have loved it.) It looks and feels like real fur! It’s pricier than other throws but it’s 100% what I wanted and beyond my expectations. 5+ Stars!!!!
