Former owner's name inkstamped inside base of rear board else near fine. Dust Jacket protected by clear Brodart cover. Describes the author's journey from the Kingston, Ontario to Camden East, Ontario (pop. 250), and then by degrees, his journey towards understanding how to live in the country. The author likens this to learning another language: fluency seems just over the next rise, or the one after that. Makes a compelling case for country life without romanticizing it.
