    About this audiobook

    First published in 1949 and praised in the New York Times Book Review as "full of beauty and vigor and bite", A Sand County Almanac combines some of the finest nature writing since Thoreau with an outspoken and highly ethical regard for America's relationship to the land. As the forerunner to such important books as Annie Dillard's Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, Edward Abbey's Desert Solitaire, and Robert Finch's The Primal Place, this classic work remains as relevant today as it was more than seventy years ago.

      The Full Monty

      If I knew I were to die in six months’ time, what would I do in the garden? Perhaps the notion of planting for a future I could not share would seem pointless. But I doubt it. Gardening transcends time. Gardens never exist in any one moment. They are

      Singing The Blues

      Feb 23, 2022

      THE weather is very changeable today. Sunny one moment, the sea a sheet of burnished gold, dark the next, as a heavy squall sweeps in off the Atlantic and turns it slate grey. The air coming in through my open study window smells of seaweed and salt.
