But in his Wild Neighborhood the visitors are the black bear, gray jay, timber wolf, owl, white-tailed deer, raven, and the moose. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA Wild Neighborhood is a collection of elegantly written essays about these creatures. From kitchen-table gossip about the black bear's recent attempts to raid the bird feeder, to the retelling of Native American myths about the mischievous raven, Henricksson shows a love and understanding of the residents with whom he shares the narrow wedge of the Superior National Forest in northeastern Minnesota.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHenricksson writes of the personal relationships that develop while living in the woods. He tells of the joy of helping a deer survive a tough winter and the mystery of animals he calls \"ghosts\"-species that are extinct or near extinct but still have a fleeting presence in the area. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAward-winning artist Betsy Bowen, author of Antler, Bear, Canoe: A Northwoods Alphabet Year, beautifully depicts the denizens of the forest. Her twenty-four woodcuts reflect, often humorously, Henricksson's respect for and love of northwoods creatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis personal account of a vibrant community in the woods will appeal to readers of all ages and make a beautiful gift for everyone who has admired the creatures of his or her own wild neighborhood.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Minnesota Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52905536487735,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":80.99,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/3548\/7543\/files\/9780816630172-1.jpg?v=1787912801","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.my\/products\/9780816630172","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Malaysia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
