This is the story of Ahmek, a young beaver, going about the business of living in his natural habitat. Through his eyes, we see a man, an artist painting in the wilderness. Slowly, cautiously, Ahmek and the man establish a rapport, only to have it shattered when poachers destroy the beaver dam and threaten Ahmek's life. In a desperate escape, Ahmek sets out alone on his life's great adventure. He meets a charming cast of characters, his true love, and he does find happiness. But there is always the feeling that some day he should return. When he does, he becomes part of a significant mystery that to this day has never been solved. Beautifully written and fully researched, AHMEK is a nature tale with a twist of humour and history. The year is 1917 and the artist, though unknown to Ahmek, is known to the world as Tom Thomson.Watson, Patrick is the author of 'Ahmek', published 2010 under ISBN 9781552784174 and ISBN 1552784177.
