![]() ![]() My first thoughtsĪ real-life story of a 21ˢᵗ century hermit, living in the wilderness of Maine for 27 years - this setting alone drew me to buy the book and devour it instantly. ![]() Although he developed startling skills to move through and live in the woods like a ghost, leaving no traces behind, enduring harsh, life-threatening conditions, his special type of self-chosen exile from civilization was revealed and caused extensive worldwide media coverage. Over the years, he (almost) never spoke a single word with another human being and became an unsolvable myth for generations of people living in the area of his nightly hauls. While he only took with him the things he needed to survive, like packaged food, propane gas, tools and clothing, he became the legend of the “North Pond Hermit”. He survived by stealing from surrounding holiday homes, setting a burglary track record with an estimate of over thousand housebreakings. It tells the real story of Christopher Thomas Knight, who lived for 27 years without any contact to other human beings in total reclusion in the North Pond area of the Belgrade Lakes in Maine. ![]() ![]() The complete title of this book is: “The Stranger in the Woods: The Extraordinary Story of the Last True Hermit”.
