Paine, Albert Bigelow: Dwellers in Arcady (illus). v1. 22 June 2016
Dwellers in Arcady: The Story of an Abandoned Farm By Albert Bigelow Paine (1861–1935)
Illustrated by Thomas Fogarty (1873–1938) Dwellers in Arcady was first published in 1919. This book is in the public domain in countries where copyright is “Life+70” or less, and in the USA. Text and illustrations were obtained from archive.org. OCR errors were corrected; punctuation, italics and diacritics formatted; some punctuation modernized; illustrations manually cleaned and enhanced. --------------- Albert Bigelow Paine was an American author and biographer best known for his work with Mark Twain. He wrote in several genres, including fiction, humor, and verse, for children and adults. His most notable work was a three-volume biography of Mark Twain. In 1905, Paine, with his wife Dora and their three young daughters, acquired a farm near Redding, Connecticut, and lived there for the next twelve years. This book could be considered as a sequel to From Van-Dweller to Commuter, and is written in the same style. The collection of gently humorous semi-autobiographical vignettes describes their experiences as they rescued and restored the house and land from years of neglect, reveled in the treasures found in odd corners, and fell under the spell of country life --------------- EXCERPT (it's a long one) Spoiler:

Aaarrrrgggghhhh! I am uploading a corrected file of the "No-Wrap" version. The first upload was an early draft version by mistake.
My apologies for the distress and inconvenience this may have caused. |
