Description:
New York: Random House, 1977. The author begins " A few years ago I thought I'd find a place to live removed from the influences of the city, a simple place to be with my children on weekends, where vegetables would grow and water came out of a well. Like many before me, I soon discovered that what I wanted was a house like none I had seen, and that to realize it I would have to build it myself....".This book is a personal testament and a search for values. There are unforgettable scenes, describing both disasters and triumphs with a running dialogue with Thoreau, to whose Walden the author returns with a newly critical eye. The endpapers show " A New England Barn Frame circa 1766, modified 1976". Previous owner's name on fly leaf. Jacket drawing by Mark Livingston.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good.
