Summary

In Marilyn Webb Neagley's award-winning book, Walking through the Seasons, this native Vermonter observes the changing seasons, landscape, and wildlife with a naturalist's keen eye and reverent spirit. In this four-season collection of short and contemplative vignettes Neagley takes careful note when the red-winged blackbirds return, wildflowers bloom, and snapping turtles lay their eggs. Walking through the Seasons was a gold medal winner in best regional nonfiction awarded by the Independent Publisher Book Awards in 2009 for excellence in independent publishing.
