In letters to a young woman transplanted from town, Jane Loudon teaches country life rationally: the house first, then the garden, then the pleasures of rural competence. The lady's country companion is advice by correspondence from a famous gardening writer. Victorian country living, warmly and practically taught. Read her letters like a friend.

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.
