Father Water, Mother Woods: Essays on Fishing and Hunting in the North Woods Unabridged edition

Survival in the wilderness ? Gary Paulsen writes about it so powerfully in his novels Hatchet, The River, Brian's Winter, Brian's Return, and Brian's Hunt because he?s lived it. These essays recount his adventures alone and with friends, taking listeners through the seasons. In Paulsen?s north country, every expedition is a major one, and often hilarious. Once again Gary Paulsen demonstrates why he is one of America?s most beloved writers, for he shows us fishing and hunting as pleasure, as art, as companionship, and as source of life?s deepest lessons.
