About this title

Synopsis

Having moved from New York fifteen years ago to become a Vermont farmer, Perrin recounts his mistakes in adjusting to country life and offers advice on such topics as sugaring, raising sheep, and making butter

Review

A cross between Scott Nearing and E.B. White, with a little James Harriot thrown in. --Chicago Sun-Times

You have to admire how Perrin lets the language break down into little fragments, hard stones left by a receding glacier. It isn't easy to talk about the soul, and New Englanders have as hard a time as anyone. Perrin's writing mirrors that difficulty, that ingrained reticence. --Alex Hanson, The Valley News
