Hardscrabble Harvest
Living off the land can be rewarding – and frustrating – as Dahlov Ipcar learned when she and her husband moved from New York City to a Georgetown farm in the late 1930s. Her classic children's book Hardscrabble Harvest is a gorgeously illustrated ode to rural living. --The Maine MagazineThis does for the small imagination what Barbara Kingsolver's locavore-best-seller did for their parents, what Common Ground Fair does for the eyeball ... and all with wit and charm and just a hopeful touch of nostalgia. It's not just for the kids, either – if you have an older back-to-the-lander buddy, it's a great gift for any occasion. --The Lincoln County (ME) NewsThis is a wonderful story for children ages 5 - 8, told in humourous rhyming verse and illustrated with Ipcar's bold colors and sharp lines ... A funny, enchanting tale, indeed. --Kennebec (ME) Journal
