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

McManus's first story collection, gathering twenty-seven witty, cautionary tales about camping, fishing, backpackers, and bears, with an introduction by Jack Samson, long-time editor-in-chief of Field & Stream.

In A Fine and Pleasant Misery, McManus reminisces about the adolescent thrill and terror of backyard safaris and pedaling his two-wheeled ATV; he ventures down harrowing rapids and through the almost equally harrowing parking lot of a national park during the busy season; and he shares teachings from his wilderness mentor, Rancid Crabtree. The great outdoors have never been rendered as hysterically as in these tales--true and exaggerated.

Including such classic stories as A Fine and Pleasant Misery and Shooting the Chick-a-nout Narrows.

A hilarious compilation --The Los Angeles Times
