| 4. | Gary Paulsen FATHER WATER, MOTHER WOODS
BANTAM (BDD)/RANDOM HOUSE Hardcover BOOK
These essays recount Paulsen's adventures alone and with friends, along the rivers and in the woods of northern Minnesota.
'Survival in the wilderness--Gary Paulsen writes about it so powerfully in his novels Hatchet and The River because he's lived it. These essays recount his adventures alone and with friends, along the rivers and in the woods of northern Minnesota. There, fishing and hunting are serious business, requiring skill, secrets, and inspiration. Luck, too--not every big one gets away.
This book takes readers through the seasons, from the incredible taste of a spring fish fresh from the smokehouse, to the first sight of the first deer, to the peace of the winter days spent dreaming by the stove in a fishhouse on the ice. In Paulsen's north country, every expedition is a major one, and often hilarious.
