Henry Van Dyke
224 pages~4 hr 27 min read15 chapters$1.99
A leaf of spearmint, a handful of heather, trout rising in the Traun: these essays by Henry Van Dyke drift from stream to stream in praise of gentle idleness. He fishes the Ristigouche and climbs to alpenrosen and goat's milk, always at a walking pace. Timeless companionship for the angler and the rambler. Set off along quiet water.
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.
