"This is a collection of story-essays diverse in subject but united by the limitless affection the author holds for the land and the people of New England. Donald Hall tells about life on a small farm where, as a boy, he spent summers with his grandparents. Gradually the boy grows to be a young man, sees his grandparents aging, the farm become marginal, and finally, the cows sold and the barn abandoned.

Autorenporträt
Donald Hall was not only one of America's poet laureates but one of the great personal essayists. "If any American writer deserves the description of 'man of letters, '" the New York Times Book Review wrote, "it is Donald Hall." Mr. Hall approached writing as he approached life--with simplicity, affection, and a wry wit. He distilled the human experience with a sense of humor that readers will return to again and again, each time learning something new. His work glows with the affection he held for the land, the people, and the customs of rural New England, and especially for the small, New Hampshire dairy farm near Ragged Mountain he visited every summer as a child.
