A decade and one dog after penning the bestselling Racing Pigs And Giant Marrows, and inspired by the purchase of his new hound, a petit basset-griffon Vendeen called Little Man, Harry Pearson returns to the world of stalking, ferreting and beating with this ramble through the countryside.

Mahtantu
Author: Chris Kluge
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 0991180313
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 362
Book Description
An innocent romance, sparked in the pre-colonial wilderness of New Jersey, provides a conduit for malevolence born back then to reignite in the present, with deadly results. A Dutch ship, sent to look for mineral and other wealth, arrives off the shores of northeastern North America. Exchanging gifts with the indigenous people, the mariners learn of copper veins in the nearby hills. A Sachem, charged with the well-being of his People, has foreseen the coming of these Strangers from across the sea, and his worrisome visions are soon realized. As unknown sicknesses decimate his village and others, the Sachem looks to dreams to offer assistance. His efforts prove futile, but they will have ramifications for those in the distant future. Connie Mackay, a single mother, and her son Bobby become entangled in a centuries old curse. Ancient totems, buried long ago to halt an invisible foe, are released by avarice to wreak havoc on the present. Wraith-like effigies appear to have torn open whatever keeps "before" from "now", as very real emissaries emerge to exact retribution. Alarming occurrences and visions also beset a Park Ranger, an old man and his dog, elderly twin sisters, and various others who share this formerly bucolic area of northwestern New Jersey. As links to the original indigenous settlers of this region are established, a Professor and others join in an attempt to make sense of a world gone off kilter. Other outsiders, motivated by greed, only aggravate the forces recently disinterred, threatening to broaden their deadly reach far beyond the confines of the rural area so rich in history and so closely connected to its past. The cascading forces, begun so long ago, come to full fury, as all are brought together to test the powers of loyalty and love vs, greed and evil.

On the Water
Author: Guy de la Valdene
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1493016253
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
From the acclaimed author of Fragrance of Grass comes a meditation on water and nature, fishing and growing older. On the Water is a gorgeously written collection of essays that all take place on or near the water and pay tribute to the flora and fauna associated with those ecosystems. There are essays about the finer points of tickling rainbow trout in the streams of Normandy, and of eagles and ospreys fishing for bass while barely breaking the surface of the water. There are stories of droughts and floods, of dogs and boats, of worms and rattlesnakes and even of catching and cooking soft-shell turtles that taste like osso-bucco. There is fishing and diving in the Bahamas, tarpon fishing in the Florida Keys, and fly fishing for sailfish in Central America. And there are larger-than-life personalities that are bigger than the fish tales they tell! On the Water is a finely honed and well crafted collection of tales for the true sportsman and makes for a perfect companion volume to la Valdene’s celebrated collection of essays on hunting.
