Father Water, Mother Woods: Essays on Fishing and Hunting in the North Woods by Ruth Wright Paulsen, Gary Paulsen

3.0

I picked this one up because of Hatchet and because of my love for the Northwoods. Really, Paulson's particular small home town is what is featured. There are a couple of really lovely essays (the camping one was my favorite). They definitely evoke a certain time and place. For someone who is more into fishing than I am, this may be a fantastic read. I was not taken in by the minutiae of the descriptions of lures, arrows, and guns. But still a worthwhile read for me.
