Not Your Average Bear & Other Maine Stories - Unique Maine-Themed Gifts for Book Lovers & Travel Enthusiasts - Perfect for Home Reading & Coffee Table Decor

Best known as a master builder of the wood-and-canvas canoe (and the author of a book about them, p. 17), Jerry Stelmok has now revealed an equally remarkable talent at storytelling. Through these six stories the author takes you up into The County, deep into the North Woods, to western Maine, and down along the coast (and in one instance along the desolate wintry coast of Lake Superior) with convincing familiarity. On the way he introduces you to mostly ordinary people caught in extraordinary, escalating events? Forced to confront strange circumstances for which nothing could possibly have prepared them.
