Synopsis
These essays, all concerned with countryish things, range from intensely practical to mildly literary. Transplanted from New York fifteen years ago and now a real-life Vermont farmer, Noel Perrin candidly admits to hilarious early mistakes (“In Search of the Perfect Fence Post”) while presenting down-to-earth advice on such rural necessities as “Sugaring on $15 a Year,” “Raising Sheep,” and “Making Butter in the Kitchen.”
But, as everyone who has read his essays in The New Yorker, Country Journal, and Vermont Life
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
