Seller's Description:
Lord, Kate. Very good in very good dust jacket. Price clipped. xx, 239 p. Illustrations. Select Bibliography. From the dust jacket: "Malabar was Louis Bromfield's most creative act. His writing on farm life from 1940 to 1955 found him at the height of his literary powers. In nearly a hundred beautifully crafted essays he wrote of the pleasures and demands of farming and country living. And with remarkable foresight, he wrote also of the dangers of chemical pesticides, the future of the family farm, and the meaning of our rural heritage. ~ Now in Louis Bromfield at Malabar, Charles Little has gathered the best selections from the author's five books about the most famous experimental farm in the United States. " Contents: Introduction: The good life on good land--A philosophical excursion--The return of the native--The plan--A year at Malabar--The story of Kemper's Run--The business of "plowman's folly"--The cycle of a farm pond--Gardens and landscapes--The roadside market to end all roadside markets--The bad year, or, Pride goeth before a fall--Fifteen years after--Afterward: Malabar lost, and found.
