Review # 1 was written on 2015-03-09 00:00:00 Mcool Doc Songs of the North is a selection of stories for six of Sigurd Olson�s other books and is a great jumping off point to figure out which of his books you�d like to tackle next. I marked and especially enjoyed five of those stories. If you�ve been to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) in northern Minnesota, you�ll recognize many of the places he writes about, even though most of the writing is set further north and west in Canada. The last story, The Feel of Spring, is set in an area that I�m very familiar with and I didn�t need to imagine what he was writing about, I could almost remember it; I�m fairly certain I know exactly where Jean�s lake is and where they caught their trout. It�s been many years since I read Sigurd�s books and that�s a shame as this is a relaxing reflection on our place in nature and how to escape our daily lives when we enter into it.
