From Our Editors
This is another remarkable collection of natural histories, vital
information, amusing facts, memorable myths and beautiful
illustrations relating to the Ontario wilderness. In
Bennet and Tiner's entertaining
and informative follow-up to Up North, the authors answer
such intriguing questions as why are they called "the dog days" of
summer? and How long is a pilaeated woodpecker's tongue? Nature
enthusiasts and all those who love a good story will not want to
miss this delightful book.
From the Publisher
These enormously popular volumes are the most engrossing and
encyclopedic guides available. Combining easy-to-understand natural

folklore - about plants, animals, birds, fish, insects, reptiles,
the day sky, the night sky, and the ground we walk on - Up
North and Up North Again are
indispensable companions for every cottager, camper, nature lover,
and trivia buff.
