It was written by a woman who was incapacitated by a devastating illness and found inspiration in watching a snail that happened to be in a potted plant next to her bed. Sounds strange, I know, but it's fascinating...and it has some beautiful snail illustrations.Sarah Mellinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16287853021739077607noreply@blogger.com
