This long-awaited paperback edition of a cabin-reading classic tells the story of Olsons Listening Point from his first night of sleeping under the stars, to the eventual building of his retreat there. Many people have a special place where they go to experience nature. Perhaps it is a cabin, or a campsite, or a favorite hiking trail. For Sigurd Olson it was a bare glaciated spit of rock in the magnificent Quetico-Superior country of northern Minnesota. He called it his Listening Point, and it is at the center of his book of the same name. Listening Pointis Olsons second book, with over 40,000 copies sold in hardcover. Strikingly illustrated with drawings by Francis Lee Jaques, this book tells the story of Olsons Listening Point from his first night sleeping there under the stars to the eventual building of a cabin. From this one place I would explore the entire north and all life, including my own, he writes. For me it would be a listening-post from which I might even hear the music of the spheres. Through deeply personal stories, Olson brings life in the woods alive. He traces the history of a fallen leaf, explains the power of a canoe paddle cutting through the water, and the magic of listening to the rain pour on his tent flaps. Considered by some to contain Olsons most vivid and moving passages, Listening Point is the nature lovers companion for hearing the depth and beauty of the great outdoors.
