    About this ebook

    "Riley Farm-Rhymes" by James Whitcomb Riley is a collection of charming poems that made Riley famous. Most of the poems center around life as a farmer and in the country, which makes Riley more accessible compared to many other poets at his time who aimed to write for the upper-class society of the larger cities. With the continued importance of agriculture in the world, farmers and city-folk alike will find something that resonates with them in these verses.
