About the Author

Born and bred in Maine, John Gould (1908-2003) was well known for his acerbic Yankee wit. Over his life he wrote dozens of books and for an astounding sixty-two years was a regular columnist for the Christian Science Monitor. Despite his literary fame, he would always claim that he was, first, last, and always, a farmer.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

"Now a wider audience has a chance to savor these Dispatches from the Farm. The preserve memories and values which are a rich element of American life and have a part to play in the future of a good society." —Erwin D. Canham, former editor-in-chief, Christian Science Monitor "Most these tales would lose little in being transported to the Ozarks, Appalachia, or California. They apply in any region where the natives are sagacious, the economy rural, and the people from away naive. .. Mr. Gould's humor is universal, which is a good thing for humor to be." — New York Times Book Review
