In this sometimes solemn, sometimes whimsical story of life in the bush, Jim Jasken allows us to follow on a magical journey through his beloved Sugarbush country. Woven into the tales and poems, this masterful story teller takes us from mystical native lore to the canny pragmatism of the decedents of a hardy people who settled amid the pine forests. Perhaps the most moving quality of this book is Jasken's gentle, non-judgmental approach to his characters, be they two-legged, winged or four-legged--all capable of folly and frippery; none of them condemned for being what they are. This is a truly good read.
