Farmington is a fictionalized account of the author's youth in Ohio. Though it went through seven editions, it was never a critical or commercial success. This pained Darrow, who considered it his finest book. Powys [1872-1963] was an English philosopher, novelist, poet and critic who lectured in the United States from 1905 to the early 1930s. Darrow, an admirer of his work, was a correspondent of both Powys and his brother Llewelyn. He considered Powys "a genius," albeit with a "hopeless streak of mysticism about him" (Darrow, Tietjen, ed.). Darrow, Tietjen, Ed. In the Clutches of the Law: Clarence Darrow's Letters 430.
