Bøger af Jim Mize

If you have already read Hunting With Beanpole, then you and Beanpole have met. If not, I'll introduce you to him. Beanpole is a curious fellow in all meanings of the word; he's different, inquisitive, and gullible. These characteristics breathe life into a story when you add ingredients such as bad weather, tall tales, and natural phenomenon.Beanpole's family contributes to his adventures. His Grandpa, Grumpy, spins yarns on his front porch while vigilant for revenuers. Nell keeps Beanpole straight and his son, Butterbean, provides Beanpole an opportunity to pass on his wisdom, such that it is.By the end of this book, you will realize that your fishing buddies all have a little bit of Beanpole in them, or if not, you will wish they did. The world is a richer place once you have met Beanpole.

"In his ability to capture the elusive essence of sport [Mize] serves as a voice for all of us. That's a rare gift and is precisely what makes The Jon Boat Years a treasure that should be read and enjoyed not just now but for generations to come"--
