Ways of Wood Folk Book Reviews

Ways of Wood Folk by William Joseph Long Book Summary

The sketches are taken almost at random from old note books and summer journals. About them gather a host of associations, of living over agains, that have made it a delight to write them; associations of the winter woods, of apple blossoms and nest building, of New England uplands and wilderness rivers, of camps and canoes, of snowshoes and trout rods, of sunrise on the hills, when one climbed for the eagle's nest, and twilight on the yellow wind swept beaches, where the surf sobbed far away, and wings twanged like reeds in the wind swooping down to decoys, all thronging about one, eager to be remembered if not recorded. Among them, most eager, most intense, most frequent of all associations, there is a boy with nerves all a tingle at the vast sweet mystery that rustled in every wood, following the call of the winds and the birds, or wandering alone where the spirit moved him, who never studied nature consciously, but only loved it, and who found out many of these Ways long ago, guided solely by a boy's instinct.
