Description

Here is the kind of outdoor book seldom met with. Albert Bigelow Paine is the author, and 'The Tent Dwellers" is as "delicious" as rare old wine. Not in seasons has a book appeared that contains so much of good-humor, spice, philosophy, and royal good-fellowship. On account of its treatment it will be of as much interest to the man or woman who has never experienced "camping out," and never expects to, as it will to the old-timer at the sport. "This is pure, rollicking fun from cover to cover. The narrator is a greenhorn who sees the humorous side of everything, while 'Eddie,' serious in his concealment behind his big glasses and woods-grown whiskers, innocently provides fun for every occasion. In December, they plan a fishing trip into the back woods of Nova Scotia; for the next four months they collect books and catalogues and outfits; in April Eddie goes on ahead, to be sure everything is made ready; in June they start out, loaded down with paraphernalia of every description. They canoe and camp and fish and experience the usual mishaps that beset the trail of voyagers - only these are described in a way no one can resist." -Forest and Stream "This is that rarest of things, a book of out-door life written simply, swiftly, and honestly. It is the story of a three weeks' fishing trip in Nova Scotia, and Mr. Paine is to be congratulated on having got away from the time-honored formula for all books of this kind; namely, that there shall be immense preparations for the joys of open-air life, followed by the sad realities of wet feet, a cold in the head, washing dishes, and catching very little fish; that there shall be an unlucky and addle headed member of the party whose adventures keep all his companions in good humor; and that little by little there shall steal into the heart of the disgruntled city-dwellers the knowledge and love of the silence and mystery of the woods, the feeling of kinship with nature, etc....To have made so fascinating an account of some weeks of quiet fishing, canoeing, and camping in the rain, is an achievement." -The Nation "Here is a book that really succeeds in reproducing the humors of camp life. It is the story of a trout-fishing vacation in Nova Scotia, and there is some good fishing philosophy in it as well and many a genuine, out-and-out laugh." -Country Life in America
