"Now a wider audience has a chance to savor these Dispatches from the Farm. The preserve memories and values which are a rich element of American life and have a part to play in the future of a good society."--Erwin D. Canham, former editor-in-chief, Christian Science Monitor"Most these tales would lose little in being transported to the Ozarks, Appalachia, or California. They apply in any region where the natives are sagacious, the economy rural, and the people from away naive . Mr. Gould's humor is universal, which is a good thing for humor to be."-- New York Times Book Review.
