This Hill, This Valley: A Memoir (American Land Classics)

<DIV><DIV><b>A classic country memoir—Hal Borland’s masterful story of one year spent immersed in nature on his New England farm</b></div><DIV><BR>After a nearly fatal bout of appendicitis, Hal Borland decided to leave the city behind and move with his wife to a farmhouse in rural Connecticut. Their new home on one hundred acres inspired Borland to return to nature. In this masterpiece of American nature writing, he describes such wonders as the peace of a sky full of stars, the breathless beauty of blossoming plants, the way rain swishes as it hits a river, and the invigorating renewal brought by the changing seasons. The delights of nature as Borland observes them seem boundless, and his sense of awe is contagious.</div></div>
