About the Author:
Henry Beston (1888-1968) was the author of many books, including Herbs and The Earth and Northern Farm. His Cape Cod house was declared a National Literary Landmark in 1964, but was destroyed by a winter storm in 1978.
From AudioFile:
In 1925, Henry Beston built a small house on Cape Cod and spent a year there with minimal human contact. His reflection on the experience, THE OUTERMOST HOUSE, is a revered part of Cape CodÕs literary history. Brett Barry shines as the voice of Beston, a naturalist. BarryÕs narration captures the poetry of BestonÕs lyrical passages, in which he expresses views on wildlife and conservation that are decades ahead of their time. While some of BestonÕs descriptions are in the vein of a field guide, others are wise and moving. This production is best listened to during a walk through oneÕs own favorite natural retreat.
