WILD GOOSE, BROTHER GOOSE

Mel Ellis

In this warm and beautifully written novel, well-known outdoorsman and wildlife expert Mel Ellis recounts the adventures and journeys of Duke, a wild Canada goose, during a two-year period of his life. Based on Mr. Ellis' keen observations of a real gander's experiences, the story is an exciting saga of Duke's incredible will to live as he faces almost certain disasters in the form of hunters' guns, traps, tornadoes, and starvation.

"Readers will leave this book with more reverence for life. Even calloused hunters ...may be chastened by the life that belongs here for man to shelter and enjoy." Christian Herald

"This is the most beautiful and heartbreaking story I've ever read. Every goose lover should read this book!"

CHESAPEAKE

James Michener

"In typical James Michener style, this is an epic novel about the Chesapeake Bay and the characters and Canada Geese who shaped it. There's a whole chapter about the Canada Geese who wintered in that region; James Michener describes the geese  with wit, humor and reverence. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and learned about the history of the Chesapeake Bay region going all the way back to the United Kingdom." Choo Choo Love

CHESAPEAKE BAY GOOSE MUSIC

A BOOK FOR ALL AGES

Roger Ethier

Watermen of the Eastern coast of North America and the Great Chesapeake Bay tell the story whenever men and children are gathered. They tell all about the seasonal migrations of the Canada Geese that darken the skies for days; tell of the great Canada Geese that wear the elegant King's and Queen's markings, markings that today are nearly extinct except for the flocks that pause during their migrations at the old farmhouse of the "gentlewoman." They tell of the GENTLEWOMAN, all about what they know. But they know little of the story. The truth lies far from the Atlantic Flyway, deep into the fields and farm country of the Chesapeake Bay. It is a simple, happy story, yet told with a strangely moving innocence and a remarkable gentleness.

THE SNOW GOOSE

Paul Gallico

An inspiring tale of heroism and bravery, The Snow Goose is also the heartwarming - and heartbreaking - story of friendship and love between two oddly kindred spirits: Philip, the lonely hunchbacked painter, and Frith, the shy village girl, whose innocent faith in his powers to heal an injured snow goose will change her - and Philip's - life forever.

First published in 1941 to wide acclaim. This is Paul Gallico's masterpiece.

"This touchingly beautiful story inspired author William Fiennes to embark upon an epic journey to follow the migrating snow geese from their wintering grounds in Texas to their breeding grounds in the Foxe Peninsula in Canada. Mr. Fiennes chronicles his awesome experience in his soulful book THE SNOW GEESE: A STORY OF HOME. This is a book that you'll cherish for a lifetime." Choo Choo Love

NOTE: Although this book has been described as a young reader book, it is really a book for young adults (Grade 8 and up) and adults. For very young children, we recommend THE SNOW GOOSE AND OTHER STORIES.
