There is a special feeling to the Allagash;

a sense of adventure, the thrill of getting away from it all!

          But in the dark of night there is something else. A shadow lingers, hiding beyond the reach of the lantern’s fingers of light.  It remains obscure in the midst of the evergreens and old growth.   Among the campfires and s’mores, a bone chilling draft embraces all.  Shivering, we draw our coats tighter to protect against the rawness. 

In this mystery adventure, journey with ten-year old Olivia as her family continues to canoe the world famous Allagash River.  In the prequel to the popular An Allagash Haunting, they’ve only been on the water for four days and already Livy has experienced enough to last a lifetime.  She can’t believe all that has happened, right in the middle of no-where.

 

Price is $14.95 + $.75 Sales Tax =$ $15.70.  If you wish to pay by check please add $3.50 for shipping.  Be sure to let Tim know how it should be autographed.

"Allagash Tails and Tales"

     This is a multi-media presentation intended for any school, library, civic organization who would like to have a discussion about our Allagash Tails Collection of books, and one of our nation's premiere Wild and Scenic Rivers.     

     Narrated by author and former Waterway Supervisor Tim Caverly, the show includes music, scenic and historic photographs as well as stories detailing Tim's personal experiences while living in the woods.  Canoeing down the river, people will experience the Allagash in a whole new way.

     While the visual portion of the program lasts about an hour, Tim is also available to do readings from one of the Allagash Tails books.  Accompanied by the artistry of Franklin Manzo Jr, the program has been very well received.  By the spring of the 2012 school year, in addition to libraries and civic organizations, Tim had given 57 programs and reached out to 1800 students.  But talking about the books isn't enough for the Allagash Tails guys.  To date, with the support of the King Foundations, banks, health organizations and civic organizations there have been over 1428 books donated to 83 Maine schools

     Our presentation normally last from 45 to 60 minutes, but we are willing to modify it to fit time spaces available. 

     We are now scheduling programs through out New England for 2012-2013.  If you would like more information or to arrange a visit, please e-mail us through this website site or call Tim at (207) 907-0517

 An Allagash Haunting-The Play
 
 
 
Allagash Tails is pleased to announce that the The Houlton Star Bright Children's Theatre has adapted Tim Caverly's popular children's book An Allagash Haunting-The story of Emile Camile into a stage production. The Theater group, a non-profit organization, has been serving Houlton and Northern Maine continuously since 1968.  The play was performed twice in April 2011 in Houlton with a follow up performance in Millinocket.  The Threatre, well known for providing exceptional performances, has built an excellent program that includes songs in French and English and would fit well with any school or community theatre.  A stage play script is available for performing art groups.  For more information about the project, please send us an e-mail at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Allagash Tails Volume III

Wilderness Wildlife

 Float with Carl the Wise Old Canoe as he travels the Allagash and learns of the animal antics that his Allagash friends are having; delight with Oscar "the awkward Osprey when he falls out of the sky and finds the most unusual thing ever; astound to the chilling "tail" about how two young hunters tumble into trouble during "The Attack at Partridge Junction." Will twelve year old Alayna and ten year old Preston make it out of the woods this time?

We are especially proud of these stories because they include illustrations and editing by several school students.  The book also includes bold challenge words supported by a glossary. To learn where the books may be purchased, please see store location on this site.

These two stories are the first in a series that are based on animal antics that Caverly and his family witnessed while living in the Allagash Wilderness Waterway.

Marvin the Merganser

The Marvin the Merganser tale was inspired one night while my family was sitting on the shore of Churchill Lake watching moose.  We heard a strange noise, and in a short time a baby Merganser swam by with a clam closed on its bill.  The duck was trying to quack with its mouth shut, and the sound was not like anything we had heard before.

 Charlie the Whitewater Beaver of the Allagash

 

The story about Charlie is based on a Beaver who, one summer, seemed to delight in living along Chase Rapids and swimming among the canoes. He overcomes his disabilities to help others and in return helps himself.
