Equipped with a few barnyard animals, a library full of his favorite literature, and an abundance of home-grown produce, Amen Farm in Brooklin gave Barrette the fuel to create thoughtful and evocative weekly essays out of his everyday life for his local newspaper, \u003cem\u003eThe Ellsworth American\u003c\/em\u003e. Through his appreciation of the old New England country--from canning his own vegetables and steaming fresh clams to taking walks with his spaniel and aiding in the birth of new calves--Barrette creates a world apart from the regimentation of urban living. After departing from city life himself in 1958, Barrette spent time digging clams, making jam, and taking in the Maine countryside. \u003cem\u003eA Countryman's Journal\u003c\/em\u003e, a collection of his weekly columns, serves as his love letter to these simple pleasures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roy Barrette\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1952143446\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781952143441\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Islandport Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/24\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.70d","brand":"Roy Barrette","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48453985075455,"sku":"9781952143441","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6e2579b3-34eb-4493-aa64-11440b7bde7f.jpg?v=1777303456","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-countrymans-journal-roy-barrette-9781952143441","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
