The Long-Shadowed Forest

In 1954, Helen Hoover and her husband Adrian left their careers and the big-city life of Chicago to move to a small cabin in the north woods that border Minnesota and Canada. Living without electricity, telephone, or a car, the Hoovers became part of the environment, peacefully coexisting with their wild neighbors. The Long-Shadowed Forest is the amazing record of the Hoovers' relationship with deer, mice, birds, squirrels, moose, and other creatures of the forest. The Long-Shadowed Forest, illustrated throughout with Adrian's charming line drawings, is a welcome treat for Helen Hoover fans and will be compelling reading for nature lovers everywhere.
