David Carpenters collection of essays explores a city boys love of the wild, a passion that has enriched his life from boyhood. At 80, this irrepressible Saskatchewan raconteur examines his intense fascination with predators large and small, and his awe in the face of the variety of creatures that may be out to get usor who are out to get one another. How does this combination of fear and wonder affect our relationship with the natural world? And why has Carpenter personally been both drawn to, and repelled by, so many wild animals, including alligators, wolves, cougars, spiders, black bears, grizzlies, weasels, and of course, snakes, and particularly deadly rattlesnakes?The stories that fuel the essays in this entertaining memoir are as diverse as the animalsand insects!at the heart of Carpenters inquiry. As a young man, Carpenter is working in Jasper National Park, and hes lugging his banjohustling on his way to a paid gigwhen he takes a short cut through the woods, makes a wrong turn and ends up at the dump. He looks across at some large animals. Horses? No, five, count em, five grizzlies. Luckily a ranger on an actual horse leads him out of danger. Hes fishing for brook trout in the mountains with a friend, cooling their catch in a convenient snow bank. But the fish keep disappearing. He finds them cached under a nearby rock, and when he tries to pull one out, hes in a tug-of-war with some hidden creature, small but fierceis it a mink?Encounters like these drive the author into philosophical conjecture, into reading everything he can get his hands on about these and other creatures as he contemplates our place in the wild, and the value of the wild in our lives. These essays are essential reading for those of us who share David Carpenters fascination with the predators that so fundamentally shape our understanding of wilderness and the necessity to preserve it.
