As a result, she discovers the solace and sense of wonder that this mysterious creature brings and comes to a greater understanding of her own place in the by the snail’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.
