Pilgrim at Tinker Creek by Annie Dillard 

FIRST BOOK CLUB EDITION [1974] HARPER & ROW

Identical to the true 1st edition but with no price on front panel. 

Dust jacket is in nice shape, a few spots on spine and a small nick on rear.  Overall clean and in tact; now housed in a new archival quality jacket protector.

Book itself is excellent; clean tan boards with a few scuffs on rear.  Reads good as new. 

1975 pulitzer prize winner for general non-fiction

An exhilarating meditation on nature and its seasons—a personal narrative highlighting one year's exploration on foot in the author's own neighborhood in Tinker Creek, Virginia. In the summer, Dillard stalks muskrats in the creek and contemplates wave mechanics; in the fall she watches a monarch butterfly migration and dreams of Arctic caribou. She tries to con a coot; she collects pond water and examines it under a microscope. She unties a snake skin, witnesses a flood, and plays 'King of the Meadow' with a field of grasshoppers.
