“Fans of McManus will welcome these 27 little excursions into the life of the narrator ‘Pat,’ the author’s alter ego . . . good, clean, old-fashioned fun.” —Publishers Weekly

America’s favorite outdoor humorist is back with an outrageously fresh collection of stories. He introduces a variety of friends old and new, and takes readers to many exotic locales outdoors and indoors.

This hilarious collection of tales from the Field & Stream and Outdoor Life columnist includes “Muldoon in Love,” a story that features a teacher who wore the same suit to school for thirty years.

“McManus’ anthology is a loony look at human foibles in the backwoods and byways of life, but it is more universal than that. The outdoors and activities thereof are, for McManus, vehicles for showing the crazy side of human nature . . . These short pieces with long laughs should have special appeal for reluctant readers.” —School Library Journal

Praise for Patrick F. McManus

“Patrick McManus is a treasure.” —The Atlantic

“Everybody should read Patrick McManus.” —The New York Times Book Review

“A style that brings to mind Mark Twain, Art Buchwald, and Garrison Keillor.” —People

“Describing Patrick F. McManus as an outdoor humorist is like saying Mark Twain wrote books about small boys . . . the funniest writer around today—indoors or outdoors.” —The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
