The author appears back again at a lifetime's well worth of hunting, angling, and camaraderie in the Northeast Kingdom. A North Country Life is the storyline of publisher Sydney Lea's powerful connection to his family, friends, and the northern outdoors. Loosely planned by the changing of times, different sections feature essays on such subject areas as youth family fishing journeys in the wilds of Maine, trophy fly-fishing the northern gets to of the Connecticut River, the starting day of turkey hunting season in Vermont, and getting lost in the profound woods while deer hunting. The essays are introspective and dramatic illustrations of the blending of the people and natural worlds; sentiment is attached to both spheres and offers structure to the sketches. Listeners of assorted passions will be drawn to the sincerity of the author's voice. A notable writer and poet, Lea's lyrical writing preserves a picture of folks and places from the past with vivid displays recalling past times and contrasting them with modern life. Thoughtful portraits of New England elders and the author's friends bring to life the outside as seen through a number of eyes, inspiring listeners to have a new look at the world around them. With all the author's knack for descriptive terminology, this engaging listen will strike a chord with anyone enthusiastic about the contemplative part of nature - which, in reality, is almost all of us.
