Travers Corners: Classic Stories about Fly Fishing and a Small Montana Town

"This charming debut collection of stories. Waldie builds his tales around character, creating a small community of homespun folk who are quintessentially American and just a bit eccentric." -- Publishers Weekly

"This wonderful collection of Montana short stories made me want to drop everything and light out for Big Sky Country and never look back. TRAVERS CORNERS is a terrific debut by a gifted writer, who gets the contemporary American West just exactly right on every page."
--Howard Frank Mosher

"The book has a little of the feel of The Last Picture Show. Waldie also manages a paradox, demonstrating that the decent, more-or-less ordinary people in this pretty nice place live lives of consequence, knit one to another by community, history, affection, or animus. They matter."
--Fly Rod &Reel

"Visit TRAVERS CORNERS for a good read; it's a town full of people worth knowing."
--EXPO Book Review, 1998

"...a lovely, tongue-in-cheek look at make-believe small-town America."
--Arizona Daily Star

"Like the characters he writes about, Waldie's pace is slow and deliberate, and he demonstrates why the journey is the destination. He leads the way to a tiny corner of the world where we can refresh ourselves and still make it home for dinner. Travers Corner is just such a place."
--Woodland Hills Daily News (LA--circulation 118,495)

"A shrewd eye for rural characters, the book may remind some readers of Winesburg, Ohio, Lake Wobegon Days, or A River Runs Through It."
--Billings, MT, Gazette

"Scott Waldie has captured the essence of a small Montana town and the characters who 0live there. Written with warmth and wit, these stores will make you long for a second home like Travers Corners."
--Montana Outdoors

"Best of all, the warmth isn't sappy and the wit isn't just tinsel. Both are generated from a generous understanding of human nature."
--Montana magazine
