 dquo\; &mdash\;The New York Review of Books</strong><br /><strong>&ldquo\;
 Exquisite.&rdquo\; &mdash\;The Huffington Post</strong><br /><strong>&ldqu
 o\;Magical.&rdquo\; &mdash\;Minneapolis Star Tribune</strong></p>\n<p>In a
  work that beautifully demonstrates the rewards of closely observing natur
 e\, Elisabeth Tova Bailey shares an inspiring and intimate story of her en
 counter with a&nbsp\;Neohelix albolabris&mdash\;a common woodland snail.</
 p>\n<p>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 c
 omes to a greater understanding of her own place in the world. Intrigued b
 y the snail&rsquo\;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 Wi
 ld Snail Eating" is a remarkable journey of survival and resilience\, show
 ing 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 a
 live.</p>\n<p>"The Sound of A Wild Snail Eating" can be found on Hoopla as
