Little Rivers: A Book of Essays in Profitable Idleness
Henry Van Dyke
211 pages~4 hr 12 min read17 chapters$4.99
Henry Van Dyke believed the best fishing happens on small streams and the best living in profitable idleness. His essays follow leafy spearmint, boyhood rods, and the Ristigouche by horse-yacht, finding wisdom in wandering water. Graceful, unhurried nature writing to slow the pulse. Wade into the little rivers and lose track of time.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
