Author Description

"Blithe Spirits" is a whimsical collection of images, anecdotes, and poems of a retired sailor turned animal whisperer. Bruce Henson is a retired Coast Guard officer who enlisted in 1976 and, rising through the ranks, ultimately gained his commission and achieved command of his own life-saving station. Now retired on his small hobby farm in the deep woods of northwest Wisconsin, he quite unexpectedly discovered his gift as an animal whisperer. From gophers to deer, hummingbirds to squirrels, he somehow communes with nature on a level that humans seldom achieve. Whether you give this book as a gift, take it with you as you travel, or keep it on your nightstand, this book will capture and hold your interest through every page. Its balance of imagery and prose makes it one of those rare books of interest to readers of all ages.
