A Countryman's Journal

Bag om A Countryman's Journal

"In A Countryman's Journal, originally published in 1981, author Roy Barrette describes life on his small Maine farm. Equipped with a few barnyard animals, a library full of his favorite literature, and an abundance of home-grown produce, Amen Farm in Brooklin gave Barrette the fuel to create thoughtful and evocative essays out of his everyday life for publication in the local newspaper, the Ellsworth American. Through his appreciation of the old New England country-from canning his own vegetables and steaming fresh clams to taking walks with his spaniel and aiding in the birth of new calves-Barrette creates a world apart from the regementation of urban living. After departing from city life himself in 1958, Barrette spent time digging clams, making jam, and taking in the Maine countryside and A Countryman's Journal serves as his love letter to these simple pleasures"--
