Synopsis

If you have a love of the great North Woods, Of Woods and Wild Things will take you there – to a town that time forgot. It’s fishing and forests, hunting and hiking, camping and canoeing. Follow a cast of loveable characters, baptized into the wilds, who chose to listen and learn for wild things do talk. Taken in sequence, the stories become a poignant biography, but a stroll through the book is more than one sportsman’s sojourn in the wilds. The journey is as much one of the soul as of the terrain and environment. It explores the yearnings of youth, the memories of middle age and feelings for family and friends. They tell of one man’s passion for gin-clear waters hugged by hemlock and laurel, for grape vine grouse, orange bellied brook trout and rocking chair bucks.
