About the Author

Born in Jackson County, Michigan, in 1900, Holling Clancy Holling graduated from the Art Institute of Chicago in 1923. He then worked in a taxidermy department of the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago and spent time working in anthropology under Dr. Ralph Linton. During this period, he married Lucille Webster and within a year of their marriage accepted a position as art instructor on the first University World Cruise, sponsored by New York University. For many years, Holling C. Holling dedicated much of his time and interest to making books for children. Much of the material he used was known to him first hand, and his wife, Lucille, worked with him on many of the illustrations.

I enjoyed reading this book to my students when I was teaching. There was also a movie version which was very well done. I look forward to sharing the story with my grandson.

I read Paddle in elementary school in the sixties. It was a wonderful surprise to see it recently reprinted. The story is a gentle and brilliant odyssey through the Lakes and through the clear colours of a child's eye. The description of the young native carver is not what it would be today, but is still insightful and told with respect.
