The Bear in the Attic - Paperback

by Patrick F. McManus (Author)

Hilarious and heartwarming stories of outdoor mishaps and misadventures from the beloved five-time New York Times bestselling humorist, Patrick F. McManus, "a writer who makes people laugh out loud, hard." (The New York Times)

Overflowing with McManus's trademark outdoorsman's wit, The Bear in the Attic ponders the strange allure of the RV, the existential implications of being lost, the baffling tendency of animals to outsmart those who wish to hunt them, and the singular pleasure of doubling the size of every fish one doesn't actually catch. Here is McManus's most riotous collection to date, for kids and curmudgeons alike, especially when you're running low on food, your compass is broken, and you're fairly certain you just spotted a family of Sasquatches frolicking in the treetops.

Including such classic stories as "Comments I Could Do Without" and "Roughing It Over Easy."
