It’s national #Snailday in the USA. To celebrate, check out Elisabeth Tova Bailey’s “The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating.”
Its my favorite snail book of all time, and its 1 of my overall favorite books of all time. Part memoir, part social and natural history of the snail. Fascinating and empathetic
Another fantastic section from Christopher Saxton's Atlas!

An opened atlas showing a hand-painted sixteenth-century map of Suffolk.
Detail from a hand-painted, sixteenth-century map. It is focusing on a decorative part of the map, below framed text containing information about the map (not visible in this image). At the bottom edge of the frame is a leafy stalk upon which sits a very tiny snail. There is a small section of land along the coast at the bottom of the image, which includes the town Brandon in Suffolk.
Good afternoon to everyone, but especially to all the snails, for today is their special day!
Peep very closely at this map from 1575 - and you will spot a teeny-tiny snail!
