The Land of Little Rain
Mary Austin
Mary Austin's desert speaks in its own dry voice: the water trails of the Ceriso, the patient scavengers, the solitary pocket hunter, and Shoshone land beyond. This edition of her classic gathers the essays that made the American desert into literature. Spare, exact, and unforgettable. A landmark of Western nature writing. Walk the mesa trail into the country of little rain.
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.
