Fawn Island is a
place where crows serve as alarm clocks, white-throated sparrows leave the
tracks of their songs upon the evening hush, and chickadees help a woodsman
learn to whistle. The island is also a jumping-off place for journeys large and
small, earthly and spiritual-to nearby Mallard Island, Gull Island, or Bald
Rock, by sea kayak into the wild recesses of sprawling Voyageurs National Park,
or on a midnight paddle in which the paddler can reach the silent wilderness of
the stars themselves. In his latest book, best-selling author Douglas Wood
guides the reader on a deep journey into the heart of the North Woods.
