You've never heard of rockworms, octodogs, or splinter-cats? How about the furtive but ubiquitous woose grock? The usually amiable but sometimes temperamental shovel-nosed beaver? Long-time northwoods story teller and humorist Galen Winter, himself a bit of a woodsy legend, provides undeniable proof of the existence of these and twenty other fabled creatures in this detailed natural history. Northwoods artist John Boettcher renders further visual reality through unique and life-like scratchboard illustrations. Roll over Charles Darwin: This daring book will shake the staid temple of evolutionary science to its very foundation!
This book will appeal to anyone with a sense of humor and a love of exaggeration and the absurd. Especially appealing to outdoor hunters and fishermen, who spend over $70 billion a year in pursuit of their pastime (and who typically like a good laugh!). Published Willow Creek Press. Softcover, 128 pages, Black/White Illustrations, 10 x 8-1/2 in.
