UNK WUNK DON'T FEAR––AND NEITHER SHOULD YOU
Step in to nature's classroom with longtime woodsman William J. Long as your guide. In School of the Woods, Long approaches the animals around as fellow inhabitants of a world worth observing closely and patiently. His gentle, narrative style invites the reader to trade fear for familiarity and respect, and to abandon conquest for attentiveness. Using their indigenous names, Long introduces his students to Unk Wunk, Mooween, Umqunawis, and many of their friends. Long gives each a vivid individuality, drawing us deeper into their habits, families, and hidden lives. pend enough time in Long’s woods, and the distance between their world and ours will begin to narrow.
