This is a smorgasbord menu of delicious tidbits of the north woods. A fun read. - Bernd Heinrich
The Outside Story is a series of short literary treks into the heart of the natural world, each of which lifts a small veil off the face of something mundane, misunderstood, or unknown. These essays reveal the inner beauty of place, process, and participant, a gateway into the nature of a number of the other life forms that shape northern woodlands. Unequivocally, this book is the ideal companion for a field guide. - Ted Levin
