The biography is a chronological description of this inspirational writer and his family life. The rich detail brought to us through the use of personal recollections, letters and diary entries brings us to understand the struggles and triumphs of a rich and full life.

If you are looking for long passages that describe fly angling, look to one of Haig-Brown's many books. This biography lets us all have more than just a glimpse of this prolific writer, judge and environmental activistist. It shares with the reader Ann's contributions as a teacher, moral conscious and deeply involved community member. The book illustrates Ann and Roderick's commitment to family and living life to the fullest.

Every time I pass the Haig-Brown House on my way to fish one of his favorite runs on the Campbell River, I will have some part of this biography pop into my mind.

Enyoy!
