About this title

Synopsis

""First Ripe Fruit Gathered: A Pastoral Sketch of a Young Lawyer"" is a book written by John White Chickering in 1859. The book is a fictional account of a young lawyer who leaves the city to live in the countryside and experience a simpler, more pastoral way of life. The protagonist, Clarence, becomes enamored with the natural beauty of the countryside and the simple pleasures of rural life. He befriends the local farmers and becomes a respected member of the community. However, Clarence's idyllic life is threatened when he falls in love with a young woman from the city who does not share his appreciation for the rural lifestyle. The book explores themes of love, nature, and the clash between urban and rural lifestyles. It is a charming and nostalgic look at life in mid-19th century America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
