About the Book

There are many castles today, as varied and different as imaginable. Jimmy McQuat was determined to have his own castle in the wild Canadian wilderness. At fifty-nine years of age, he was broke and found himself on the shores of what is now called White Otter Lake, in Canada,s Northern Ontario. He vowed he would not die that way and looked for a place to build his castle, which he completed and lived in. Jimmy,s castle in the bush still stands today in mute testimony to his genius and determination. Jimmy,s story is one of many you will enjoy as you paddle your way through this delightful collection of Ontario waterway tales. Jack Poulin is a modern day voyageur. He has travelled many of Ontario,s rivers and lakes by canoe, drinking in the beauty of our shrinking wilderness. His castle is special. He carries it with him, setting it up wherever he needs it. It does not have walls of stone but humble cloth, and the moat stays where it is when he leaves. It is his castle in the bush; warm, dry and comfortable. When he goes on a wilderness journey, he looks forward to it at the end of the day. Like your castle, his is a respite, a place of peace and tranquility. In A Castle in the Bush, Jack shares with you the stories of his journeys. Through his eyes you will see the beauty of Ontario,s northern landscape as you paddle its many and mighty waterways. Along the way he will share with you a joke or two, a view of the land that many will never see, and a caution to ensure we protect what is left of our great wilderness. Join Jack as he takes you through beautiful Algonquin Park, Brightsand River, Temagami Loop, Boundary Waters Canoe Route, French River, Historic Mattawa River, Ralph Bice lake, Falls Chain in Quetico Provincial Park and of course, a visit to Jimmy,s castle in the bush. If listening to Jack weave his adventures is not enough for you, he also gives invaluable advice and tips to help you prepare for you own wilderness journey. A Castle in the Bush is an amusing and informative read for canoeing and camping enthusiasts alike, and anyone who enjoys a good story.
