Maine Guide with a Soul
This excellent book is not just for young adults, or females.It is a moving story for anyone who appreciates the culture of the North Woods, in my case a 66 year old man who loves the north woods and the values of the Scandinavians who "live the culture". In fact, Kristin's Wilderness is written by a highly respected "Maine Guide With a Soul" - a "real" man!

Kristin's Wilderness: A Braided Trail is a wondrous chapter book
Beautifully illustrated with soft watercolors throughout, Kristin's Wilderness: A Braided Trail is a wondrous chapter book for readers aged eight to eighty. Told in first-person perspective, Kristin's Wilderness follows a young girl's journey into womanhood among wildlife researchers in the northwoods, chapters tell of the diverse characters in her life from the old Finnish ladies who share the sauna to two wolverines who escape their observation pen to the northern native people among whom she spends a winter. The paintings especially capture the mood and majesty of the natural world that surrounds her, in this gentle and heartwarming tribute coming of age amid the changing of the seasons.

Product Description
From the Publisher: Covers the five large carnivores of the Scandinavian North - the Wolf, the Bear, the Lynx, the Wolverine - and Man. Photographers and writers Staffan Widstrand and Magnus Elander have worked for four years together with journalist Johan Lewenhaupt, to create this stunning book. The 13 essays display a number different angles and ways of looking at the carnivores - and ourselves. In unique and intimate images we meet the European wolf and European Brown Bear as almost never before. We get close to the shy Lynx and the unknown Wolverine steps out from the shadows. An underlying theme through the whole book is the relationship between Man and the other large carnivores. "A magnificent book of pictures and essays delivering both excitement and beauty - a read that will leave no one indifferent". The World Wildlife Fund ... Read more
