Storyteller and artist Howard Sivertson is one of Lake Superior's real treasures. In this newest collection of tales and original paintings, he shares his "stories pickup up along the shore" using his folksy wit and colorful style. In this fifth art book of the series, he offers history, adventure and glimpses of family life told with his well-known mirthful spirit. A marvelous gift or collectible. Just like its title, Driftwood is a special Lake Superior find.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A beautiful read,
By Suzy Black (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Driftwood: Stories Picked Up Along the Shore (Hardcover)
I bought this on a whim and now I wish I'd bought two - then I could carefully cut out the lovely pictures and frame them to put on the wall! The tales told within are just the right length and make you smile and wonder. It gives a great sense of the life of people around Isle Royale and Lake Superior, I love this book. My daughter (who's only 15 months) also loves it. The pages are thick so she can easily turn them without tearing or frustration!

A perfect gift for any who loves stories of the lakeshore,
By Armchair Interviews (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Driftwood: Stories Picked Up Along the Shore (Hardcover)
I enjoy good storytelling, and Howard Sivertson truly has a way with the words. He's put his talent into the enjoyable stories in Driftwood: Stories Picked Up Along the Shore. And he also painted the glorious pictures that are in the book.
While storytelling is a gift, that gift is made better when there is a passion to the telling. Sivertson provides the passion, the history and charm that make a good book better. Those of us who live near Lake Superior's shore know the love the people have for the area. In Driftwood, the reader is given the gift of all the variances of life in that region of the country. There are numerous fabulous stories. Some of my favorites are: "Gathering Gull Eggs on Cloud Island" (this is personal for me), "Dead Reckoning" reminded me of my Norwegian great uncle long gone but not forgotten. "Going Visiting" has all the charm of a Will Weaver story and those readers who long ago had the opportunity to pick raspberries, "Standoff at the Grace Island Raspberry Patch" is a few delightful minutes of `what the doctor ordered.' Sivertson's Driftwood is the perfect gift for that hard-to-buy-for parent, aunt, uncle, cousin or friend. It's a visit to the past; one you'll want to make often. Armchair Interviews says: A winner!
