Settled in the Wild takes us into the woods and along the shorelines, mudflats, and paths of rural Maine, where Susan Hand Shetterly has lived and written about nature for the past thirty years. Now, she turns her attention to the ways humans and animals share the land, especially as our mutual habitat is changing.

Beautiful Essays on Life in Small Towns and in the Countryside submitted by sdunav on July 24, 2011, 9:19am Deceptively simple, beautiful essays about living on the edge of a small town on the coast of Maine - neighbors, wild birds, deer, fishermen, a pet raven, snakes, paving gravel roads and local politics - all are inspiration for Shetterly's thoughtful prose. It doesn't sound too exciting, but this is a book that I'm going to return to the library and then go and buy a copy, so I can read it again in the years to come, and maybe gift some of my friends with it.
