His knack for humour is enjoyable and infectious.' James Prosek, author of Early Love and Brook Trout and Trout. 'His ability to evoke the woodlands of Maine in May - the movements of the animals, the quality of the air, the clear song of the white-throated sparrow - ranks him with some of the best nature-writers in print.' Kirkus 'Babb is informative, sagacious, rude and elegant in hilarious turns - and when he's confessing his idiocies ... he is sublime.' David James Duncan, author of the New York Times Best-seller The River Way 'A writer like Babb - irreverent gadfly, shrewd and insightful iconoclast with a wicked wit - comes along, at best, only once every few generations' Ted Leeson, author of The Habit of Rivers 'Everybody says Jim Babb is funny. He is. But he's also lyrical, caustic, rueful, even heartbreaking. Every thoughtful middle-aged male should read this book. And so should everyone else.' Stephen Bodio, author of On the Edge of the Wild
James R. Babb is the editor of Gray's Sporting Journal and author of Crosscurrents, which Library Journal hailed as 'the best fly-fishing book of the year'. He lives in Searsport, Maine.
