Parnassus on Wheels
Publisher Description
We became real farmers, up with the sun and to bed with the same. Andrew wore overalls and a soft shirt and grew brown and tough. My hands got red and blue with soapsuds and frost; I never saw a Redfern advertisement from one year's end to another, and my kitchen was a battlefield where I set my teeth and learned to love hard work. Our literature was government agriculture reports, patent medicine almanacs, seedsmen's booklets, and Sears Roebuck catalogues.

What a delightful escape from these sorrowful rimes
Parnassus on Wheels
What an uplifting and heart-warming surprise this book is! With a fresh, unassuming, and writing filled of humor, this captivating story gave me much pleasure and anticipation. Not many 100-years old books feel so current. Either I'm very old or this book touches some depth in timeless way. A gem indeed!
