Product Description
Summer of the Dragon provides the perspective of a hard-wired naturalist on the natural world and wild Florida in particular. It describes the author's lifetime of interactions with animals and plants...from the magical boyhood incident when two snake eggs hatched in his hand to the loss of his right arm to a horrifying attack by a giant alligator. Thrown into the mix are laugh-out-loud tales of student misadventures, colorful eccentrics, British soldiers cooking up a batch of psychotropic greens at Jamestown and a float trip down Florida's grand Ichetucknee River that became "the Donner Party afloat." If you don't know bastard toadflax from devil's dung, this book is for you.
