Description: "For Wood, Fawn Island is not merely a charming wilderness hideaway. From its pine forests and rocky shores he contemplates the nature of neighborliness and independence, of community and solitude. Together with his stories, his original illustrations capture the poetry and mystery of the landscape. Through humor, reflection, and anecdotes, he shares the beauty and spirit of his beloved island sanctuary with all of us."--BOOK JACKET.
