Sommario/riassunto: | The War against the Beavers is a wry and funny account of two people's ten-year apprenticeship in backwoods living. Juxtaposing idyllic descriptions- hiking and cross-country skiing, swimming and canoeing in clear waters-with the intensive labor of maintaining a wilderness homestead, Conley draws a beguiling picture of the ups and downs of backwoods living. |
