After some 30 years abroad in the wide world, Bromfield himself returned to Pleasant Valley before the outbreak of World War II. He created the 1,000-acre Malabar Farm, which became the best known farm in America, a birthplace of today's sustainable agriculture movement. His is a world of constant wonders-full of mystery and romance, movie stars and talking animals, true love and the constant battle between good and evil as played out in our treatment of the land. Out of print for decades, the very best of Bromfield's country classics are presented here in a unique volume that is sure to captivate the hearts and 'spark' the minds of city and country folks alike." This book has 317 pages and is illustrated.
