Light in the forest - Behind the Cut – Episode 14: The Art of the LumberjackA real book inspired “The Art of the Lumberjack.” That book? The Sport of Falconry.

According to the inscription, the book was given to me by my father on January 11, 1975.

This four-and-a-half minute episode is about how a book I’ve had for 41 years led to one of the best short stories I’ve ever written…

To Christopher Peter Gronlund. From his father on 1-11-75. Some day if you have the time, read this book son. I just never had the time. I always knew how, and I didn't need this book. Look for the signs along the way son, always be careful, and try not to get hurt.
