This was given to me by the author's son close to 20 years ago. I've enjoyed rereading it so much I'll put it back on the shelf and enjoy it again in the future.

In a small book of 18 sketches, Lange reminds us how rich a simple life can be. A long time resident of New England, he reflects on the people living in and near him and on the beautiful natural world that surrounds them. A quiet book that brings some calm to our tumultuous world is a gift indeed.

Lange wrote a weekly column that appeared in several New England newspapers for over twenty years and was a regular commentator on Vermont Public Radio. ( )
