David Carroll marvelously mixes the arts with science: true to his art, he is a refined Thoreau. His love and understanding for his subject is clearly evident.

This is an obvious labor of love by a sympathetic and careful observer of a local population of spotted turtles in New England. The writing, illustrations and fine details bring to vivid life the most mundane activities of these gentle beasts. If you have any interest in turtles track down a copy of this book!

a true example of brillance, in subject matter and illustrations....!!!!!!!!!

I purchased this for my friends who have a virtual zoo which includes many turtles. In fact, they're breeding a little out of control.

In other respects for those who love nature and respect the animals therein, it is beautifully written. I usually read a few passages from my own copy in bed...a great way to reclaim some peace after a hectic day.

Thank you Mr. Carroll.

The book arrived in the condition that the sellers said it would, which was excellent. And it was received very quickly. Good job!
