Tales from the Allagash

The Standish Fish and Game Club is hosting a free presentation and book signing by author and humorist Tim Caverly on Sept. 5 at 6:30 p.m. at Town Hall. The presentation, which is part of Caverly’s long-running “Allagash Tails” series, will feature photos of the Allagash River, history pertaining to local Native American archaeology and his first-hand experiences from the region.

Caverly, a former park ranger and educator, will sign copies of his latest book, “The Ranger and the Reporter,”  and one autographed copy will be given away. His “Allagash Tails” books and presentations grew out of an observation that his students were disinterested in both reading and nature. After writing two stories which were then illustrated and published, he brought them in for his students, who immediately asked for more. Since 2009, Tim and his wife have published nine books and given presentations in schools and communities across New England.
