A Year in the Maine Woods by Bernd Heinrich
PUBLISHER DESCRIPTION
Escapist fantasies usually involve the open road, but
Bernd Heinrich’s dream was to focus on the riches of one small place—a few
green acres along Alder Brook just east of the Presidential Mountains. The
year begins as he settles into a cabin with no running water and no
electricity, built of hand-cut logs he dragged out of the woods with a team
of oxen. There, alone except for his pet raven, Jack, he rediscovers the
meaning of peace and quiet and harmony with nature—of days spent not filling
out forms, but tracking deer, or listening to the sound of a moth’s wings.
