Publisher's Synopsis
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."
