Being a boy on a New England farm meant chores, mischief, and a war with the woodpile. Charles Dudley Warner recalls the sawing, the sugaring, the animals, and the small daily labors that shaped a country childhood. Funny, affectionate, and full of the texture of self-reliant farm life. Remember, or discover, what it meant to grow up close to the land.

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.
