This book, published in 1998, is a retelling of one of John Muir's favorite adventures. He is said to have retold this story many, many times.
John Muir is a hero of mine, so it simply being a short story about him would've sufficed in satisfying me. Add to that the gorgeous illustrations by Christopher Canyon and this book is a real treasure.
I read this story through three times because it was so beautiful. The story is a good one and the illustrations are magic. John Muir looks much like himself.
I adore this little book and I'll add it to my keeper shelves.

Fabulous story - my 6 year old grandson was captivated from the very first page. You can see why Muir accomplished what he did in his life from this episode.
