The Night the Bear Ate Goombaw

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

Patrick F. McManus's gut-busting observations on camping, fishing, and hunting reach ridiculous proportions in the twenty-six stories collected in The Night the Bear Ate Goombaw. Here McManus confronts his fear of the newest boating technology and his best friends' grandmother's fear of bears. When you're out in the woods with McManus and his friends and family, human behavior is even wilder than the wilderness. Including such classic stories as "Whitewater Fever" and "Never Cry 'Arp!'"
