REVIEW
"Fergus loves the woods without idolizing them. He recognizes natural mysteries without forever trying to draw a great philosophical lesson. More often than not, his essays turn on clearly narrated, concrete events, and they turn our expectations around like an O. Henry story." -Wallace Kaufman, American Forests
