Though the 1976 collection "A River Runs Through It and Other Stories" was the only book MacLean published in his lifetime, the moving family tragedy of the title novella has proved to be one of the most enduring of American stories. This collection adds a fitting final volume to MacLean's celebrated oeuvre.
