The Grasshopper Trap - Softcover
Patrick F. McManus, the “funniest guy in the Outdoor Life and Field & Stream gang...offers another bag of whimsy in the Great Outdoors”* with The Grasshopper Trap.
In this collection of thirty zany stories, spoofing camping, fishing, and other outdoor recreational activities, McManus shares his hilarious wilderness misadventures. From facing an angry bear with an unloaded gun and the folly of running a boat while it’s still on the trailer to not questioning the ingredients found in camp cookout cuisine and the best methods of catching grasshoppers, no one knows how to express Mother Nature’s sense of humor like Patrick F. McManus.
“It’s enough to tickle the most rabid member of the National Rifle Association.”―*Kirkus Reviews

About the Author:
Patrick F. McManus (1933-2018) is the author of novels, plays, and more than a dozen collections of his humor columns from Outdoor Life and other magazines. There are nearly two million copies of his book in print, including his bestselling The Shoot Canoes, Don't They?; The Night the Bear Ate Goombaw; and A Fine and Pleasant Misery.
From AudioFile:
The audio format is the perfect medium for these colorful escapades of McManus, as a boy and an adult. If only all tales of the outdoors and the trials of growing up could be so hilarious. and told with such delight by an uncle or family storyteller. George Irving takes on each of the unforgettable characters with great energy, including McManus's wife, Bun, and childhood acquaintances Rancid Crabtree and Rupert Scraggs A judicious use of accent and characterization strikes a balance which brings each story alive but doesn't overplay it: a rare treat which will keep whole family listeningand laughing. R.F.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
