Review:
I read Pleasant Valley and The Farm more than forty years ago, and I am still grateful for the confirmation and encouragement I received from those books. At a time when farming, as a vocation and an art, was going out of favor, Louis Bromfield was a writer who genuinely and unabashedly loved it. He was not one of those bad pastoral writers whom love for farming is distant, sentimental, and condescending. Bromfield clearly had loved it familiarly and in detail. He loved the work and the people who did it well. --Wendell Berry
Pleasant Valley is one of those refreshing and delightful books that show up once in a lifetime. The connections between earth and humans are interwoven throughout as Louis Bromfield writes about farming with elegance and joy.
And Bromfield skillfully portrays that marriage between dream and reality that is so necessary in working the land as he writes, Wait until spring comes! This beautiful new edition of Pleasant Valley is as useful now, maybe even more so, than when it was first published in the early 1940s. Read it. It will enrich your life. --David Kline
