Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Cabins, Cottages and Summer Homes
A few there are who, blessed with an abundance Of the world's goods, can dwell in country estates and retain a town house for their city sojourns. Others less fortunate who must labor there, and Of necessity find themselves anchored down within the city's bustling radius, move farther and farther out as their prosperity increases, into the uncrowded suburbs, where the air now and then has a faint tinge of the Open spaces, and where there is hope now and then Of a little contact with the good earth, even if it be artificially landscaped and greened. All this is still a far cry from the lush ness Of the timber lands and the virgin quality Of the. Far wild places. All this helps to make City dwelling bearable, but it does not satisfy that wildwood longing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
