Anne Fadiman returns to one of her favorite genres, the familiar essay. With the combination of humour & erudition that distinguishes her as one of America's finest essayists, she draws us into 12 of her personal obsessions, ranging from her slightly sinister childhood enthusiasm for catching butterflies to her monumental crush on Charles Lamb, from her wistfulness for the days of letter-writing to the challenges & rewards of moving from the city to the country. A bewitching collection imbued with Fadiman's characteristic love of life, literature, family & esoteric love.
