California: The Land of the Sun
Mary Austin and Sutton Palmer
125 pages~2 hr 29 min read12 chapters$4.99
Mary Austin knew California as few writers ever have, from the mothering mountains to the sage-brush country. This lyrical portrait moves through Monterey's port, old Spanish gardens, the twin valleys, and the high Sierras, catching the light and character of each. Nature writing that sings. For anyone in love with the western landscape and the words to match it.
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.
