Tired of the city grind, William Dawson chose a smaller, quieter life in the country and never regretted it. This gentle memoir makes the case for simplicity: less income, more time, a garden, and room to think. Persuasive and calm, it speaks to anyone dreaming of escape from the treadmill. Trade the salary for a life you can taste.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
