About this title

Synopsis

Essays discuss rural life, county fairs, stone walls, acid rain, mulching, barns, ponds, pollution, and progress

From Library Journal

One of the authors currently reviving the essay is New England teacher, writer, and part-time farmer Noel Perrin. In this new collection ( Third Person Rural, LJ 8/83, was supposed to end the series), Perrin offers his appealing mix of practical advice, humor, interesting facts, poetic observations, and alarming reports. He explains, for example, how he has saved his farm legally from development. He describes the silvery beauty of winter mornings. He laughs at his own attempts at gardening as "mulcho man." Only a few of the essays seem a little contrived. Although there is much here of interest to farmers, gardeners, and New Englanders, the book will appeal to a broad readership--to anyone interested in American life and character, ecology, the country or idea of it, or just good reading. Educational, funny, frightening, and recommended.
