David M. Carroll became hooked on turtles when he was eight years old and has never looked back. Now a much-published nature writer and artist, he looks in this memoir at his life, which no matter what else it has contained--poverty, loneliness, disappointment--has been satisfyingly full of turtles. In careful drawings, color paintings, and a fascinating text, Carroll describes the life of the freshwater turtles he has studied for 40 years.
