Little Rivers: A Book of Essays in Profitable Idleness

A collection of personal essays by Henry Van Dyke celebrating the pleasures of unhurried outdoor life, particularly fishing and rambling along small streams, reflecting on nature and leisure. Readers who enjoy nature writing, angling literature, or contemplative essays in the tradition of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century American prose would find it appealing. *Note: The 2006 date reflects a reprint; the work was originally published in 1895.*
