[Woodcarver] Favorite Stories that involve carving or carvers??

[Charles Trella]

Hey everyone!

I have lurked here for quite sometime (years) and I am slowly getting into 
carving (hiking sticks, bark, wood spirits).  I can't remember if I asked 
this question at anytime in the past, but I was wondering if anyone has any 
fiction or nonfiction books that involve carving or carvers in some way.

One of my favorites is a Christmas children's book called "The Christmas 
Miracle of Jonathon Toomey". (At least I think that's it.)  Wonderful story.

Any others that anyone can recommend?

Cheers all!
