"E.B. White of Charlotte's Web fame, wrote a series of essays - for Harper's Magazine - through the late '30s into the early '40's about his experiences living on a New England farm. His writing is excellent; this is a (timeless) classic in my opinion. It's fascinating too, that so much of what he writes about relates to us today - concerns of poor economic conditions, US at war and obsession with simplifying one's life - yet there are striking differences as well. I'd buy this for my bookshelves!"
"Dipped in and out. It's that kind of book. Hard farming in Maine (how hard can it be? He's a successful writer for the New Yorker), home-spun wisdom, wry humor, some elegant essays. Definitely a lifetime ago, without cable TV, and where most cars mostly won't start on most cold mornings."
