Surrounded by Weasels

Surrounded by Weasels was compiled by Tess Gallager for Josie Gray, her companion for a quarter of a century, who told her these stories at Lake House, and before their hearth at Abbey Cottage in Ballindoon and in America at large. During the collection period, between 1994 and 2006, Josie often told stories while in motion, walking with Tess by the Morse Creek near her home in Port Angeles, Washington, riding ferryboats, and on treks to the Pacific Ocean. Shortly before his death, he recalled the many stories they had kept back from their initial book, Barnacle Soup, in 2007, and asked her to bring those together here in this book.
