A Fine Hardcover in a Fine Dust Jacket. A New Giftable Book.
The Mylar protected dust jacket has the price. First Edition, First Printing.. The book is part of Berry's Port William series, which captures the life of a fictional Kentucky farming community. Through his stories, Berry celebrates the interconnectedness of rural communities and the value of neighborly care, responsibility, and shared history.

Like much of Berry's work, the book (truncated) champions sustainable agriculture and respect for the natural world. Tol's farming practices and his relationship with the land reflect Berry's broader philosophy about the importance of living in harmony with the earth.

The book contributes to preserving the history and ethos of rural American life during the mid-20th century. It stands as a testament to values that are often overshadowed in contemporary narratives—patience, humility, and the quiet strength of community bonds. [Adapted from Reviews] (Inventory #: 19666)
