In 1986, twenty-year-old Christopher Knight left his home in Massachusetts, drove to Maine, and disappeared into the woods. He would not have a conversation with another human being until nearly three decades later when he was arrested for stealing food. Living in a tent even in winter, he had survived by his wits and courage, developing ingenious ways to store food and water, to avoid freezing to death. He broke into nearby cottages for food, clothes, reading material, and other provisions, taking only what he needed, but terrifying a community never able to solve the mysterious burglaries. Based on extensive interviews with Knight himself, this is a vividly detailed account of the why and how of his secluded life--as well as the challenges he has faced returning to the world. A riveting story of survival that asks fundamental questions about solitude, community, and what makes a good life, and a deeply moving portrait of a man who was determined to live his own way, and succeeded"--Publisher description. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 600 10 $a Knight, Christopher Thomas, $d 1965- 650 0 $a Hermits $z Smithfield $z Smithfield $v Biography. 650 0 $a Recluses $z Smithfield $z Smithfield $v Biography. 650 0 $a Thieves $z Smithfield $z Smithfield $v Biography. 651 0 $a Smithfield (Me.) $v Biography. 650 0 $a Survival $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Solitude $v Case studies. 650 1 $a Recluses $z Smithfield Region $z Smithfield Region $v Biography 650 1 $a Survival $v Case studies 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY $x Adventurers & Explorers. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a NATURE $x Forests & Rainforests. $x Forests & Rainforests. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a TRAVEL $z United States $x New England (CT, MA, ME, NH, RI, VT) $x New England (CT, MA, ME, NH, RI, VT) $2 bisacsh 600 17 $a Knight, Christopher Thomas, $d 1965- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01942497 650 7 $a Hermits. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00955538 650 7 $a Recluses. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01091440 650 7 $a Solitude. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01125561 650 7 $a Survival. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01761768 650 7 $a Thieves. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01149995 651 7 $a Maine $z Smithfield. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01257872 600 17 $a Knight, Christopher Thomas, $d 1965- $2 sears 650 7 $a Hermits $z Smithfield (Me.) $v Biography. $2 sears 650 7 $a Thieves $z Smithfield (Me.) $v Biography. $2 sears 651 7 $a Smithfield (Me.) $v Biography. $2 sears 650 7 $a Survival skills $v Case studies. $2 sears 650 7 $a Solitude $v Case studies. $2 sears 655 4 $a Biographies 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Case studies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423765 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 773 0 $t Midwest Best Sellers 776 08 $i Online version: $a Finkel, Michael. $t Stranger in the woods. $b First edition. $d New York : Alfred A.
