Fantastic book. Just dripping with compelling historical stories revealing the truly mystical nature of the West Coast's beautiful rainforests.

The human story is simply unbelievable. While it may be a little embellished, men like Grant Hadwin make for amazing reading. This book is amazing by the fact that it's non-fiction. You couldn't make up a better story than this.
