The Farm Book

It is often said that Americans can be divided into two groups: those who grew up on a farm and those who wished they had.

This book will give pleasure--and information--to both.

Hundreds of illustrations, rendered with perception, wit, and accuracy offer a heartwarming look at life on a farm in Holland.

Rien Poortvliet is a famous Dutch artist and illustrator. A superb draftsman and colorist, he has another, even more enviable gift - a singular rapport with animals. In the text and pictures of this book, the artist and the naturalist speak with equal eloquence.
