A Remarkable and Exciting Book More People Should Know About

This is one of the best books, of many wonderful books, that I read last year! Having grown up in downeast Maine, I can attest that Rob McCall has gotten it right in his Alwanadjo Almanack, which I think is a brilliant way of structuring his book.

Small, Misty Mountain

I certainly enjoyed this book. I am very familiar with the Blue Hill Area of Maine. Beside the great description of the different seasons, I was delighted by Rob McCall's religious interpretations.
