    About this ebook

    "Bramble Brae" by Robert Bridges is a love story for the farm of the author's father. It covers how different worlds can be between life in the city and life in the country. Written in prose, the book still reads like poetry that weaves a beautiful world that will engage any reader no matter their walk of life.
