Betsey and I are out, and a whole household drama unfolds in rhyme. Will Carleton's farm ballads tell of quarrels and reconciliations, of the old house and the road to the poorhouse, in plainspoken country verse. Sentimental, memorable poems of rural American life. Hear the joys and heartbreaks of the farm sung in verse that once everyone knew.

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.
