About this ebook
Verlyn Klinkenborg's regular column, The Rural Life, is one of the most read and beloved in the New York Times. Since 1997, he has written eloquently on every aspect, large and small, of life on his upstate New York farm, including his animals, the weather and landscape, and the trials and rewards of physical labor, as well as broader issues about agriculture and land use behind farming today. Klinkenborg's pieces are admired as much for their poetic writing as for their insight: peonies are "the sheepdog of flowers," dry snow "tumbles off the angled end of the plow-blade as if each crystal were completely independent, almost charged with static electricity," and land is most valuable "for its silence,its freedom from language."

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Beautifully written, always interesting. He looks with a keen eye on the world of animals and on his own reflections. Intelligent and engaging without ever being pompous. A few pages and you find yourself relaxing, growing calmer amd more attentive. A treasure!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Written by someone with an extraordinary depth of knowledge gained from being hyper-observant and curious. A must read for any city dweller or suburbonite considering rural life.
