I am looking for books for an elderly man who spends his winters reading about canoe trips and nature experience. I suggested -Cross Creek - which he loved. He usually has a list of his own, but he is running out. Most on his list have been non-fiction communing with nature type things esp. about canoes. He will read YA books and has read Gary Paulson. He isn't really into the harsh wilderness survival type stories. He's just an old nature lover. Any other ideas would be appreciated.

beginning to keep bees. She includes lots of description of "nature type

Tracy -

I think a possible author of interest would be Barry Lopez, who skillfully
steers an ambiguous path between description and imagination in a number
of titles grounded in nature. He uses spirituality as an access point to
the imagination, but it is never of an orthodox variety.

A few are listed below:

Arctic dreams : imagination and desire in a northern landscape (1986)
(Lopez' own experience living north of the arctic circle)

Crossing open ground (1988)
Of wolves and men (1978)


Those below are short stories grounded in nature and landscape:

Desert notes: reflections in the eyes of a raven (1990)
River notes : the dance of herons (1990)
Field notes: the grace note of the canyon wren (1994) [stories]

I hope this is helpful ...

Did he read "The Yearling"? Or Sterling North's "Rascal"?

Although they're not fiction, he might enjoy Gerald Durrell's many books
about his experiences as an animal collector for zoos in Africa, South
America, and other exotic parts. The first two, "A Zoo in My Luggage" and
"The Bafut Beagles," contain some of the funniest prose I have yet to read.

On a similar note, Reader's Digest brought out some books on this general
theme some years back. They include "Marvels & Mysteries of Our Animal
World," "Our Magnificent Wildlife" (I happen to own this one and it's
splendid), "Birds: Their Life, Their Ways, Their World," "Curious
Creatures," "Joy of Nature: How to Observe & Appreciate the Great
Outdoors," "Animals You Will Never Forget," "Animals Can Be Almost Human,"
and "Exploring the Secrets of Nature." There are also a number of fine
illustrated volumes from National Geographic and Time-Life which might
interest him.

I highly recommedn "Bingo Night at the Fire Hall" by Barbara Holland. It
discusses her move to her mother's summer cabin in the Smoky Mountains to
live year round. We read it in our book discussion group and we all decided
winter was not a good time to live in a cabin in the woods. But we did think
it was a good read.

John Graves' "Goodbye to a River" sounds like a natural for this patron. His other books "Hardscrabble" and "From a Limestone Ledge" might also be of interest, but since "Goodbye to a River" is about a canoe trip, I would suggest it first. There is also a recently published edition of Graves' correspondence with his publisher regarding the book. Amazingly, he's just as erudite, thoughtful, and courteous in his casual letters as in his published writing.

Your patron may enjoy fiction and nonfiction by Rick Bass. I've only
read his latest nonfiction -- Colter: the True Story of the Best Dog I
Ever Had -- but it was excellent. The book is about a truly wonderful
hunting dog, but it is also about the relationship between man and dog,
man and nature, and exuberance for living. Bass writes beautifully
about the Montana mountains and fields where he lives and hunts.

My husband also highly recommends the writings of sports writer Gene
Hill who died a couple years ago. His work has been collected in a
number of nonfiction books such as Passing a Good Time, The Whispering
Wings of Autumn, Outdoor Yarns and Outright Lies, etc.

Hope this helps.
