\ n"Miles Krzelewski is a devoted husband\, a doting father beloved for h is outlandish bedtime stories\, and the proud owner of a truffle-hunting d og in a land with no truffles. He is also a bit lost\, twelve years late w ith his PhD on Russian folktales and increasingly haunted by a sense that he's become a disappointment to his family. So when his wife\, Kate\, acce pts a visiting professorship at a prestigious college in the faraway fores ts of Vermont\, he decides that this will be the year to finally move forw ard with his life. But Miles is a man of many enthusiasms\, one who posses ses\, in Kate's words\, a great capacity "to fall in with anyone\, anywher e." And no sooner does he arrive than he finds himself entangled with a ca st of characters as colorful as those of any of his folktales\, from a gho stly tree surgeon to a scythe-mad biochemist\, from a Shakespearean temptr ess to a photographer of snowflakes obsessed with chronicling\, on thousan ds of index cards\, the world's delusions in an Inventory of Wrong Ideas. The new friends\, the enchanted woods\, the histories: sure\, no PhD\, but all good fun. Until Miles stumbles upon a bizarre--perhaps ridiculous--lo cal legend\, which\, he soon suspects\, might not be just a legend after a ll." -- Provided by publisher.
