Whether
you live in the city or the country, Pleasant Valley is calling you to
return home: To return -- in body and spirit -- to a golden age when
Americans lived closer to the land and more in harmony with nature.
Nestled in the rolling hills of central Ohio, Pleasant Valley is the
guiding light of Pulitzer-prize winning author Louis Bromfield as he
writes with deep passion and grace about the people, places and customs of
his beloved Ohio homeland.
After
some 30 years abroad in the wide world, Bromfield himself returned to
Pleasant Valley before the outbreak of World War II. He created the
1,000-acre Malabar Farm, which became the best known farm in America, a
birth-place of today's sustainable agriculture movement.
His is a world of constant wonders -- full of mystery and romance, movie stars and talking animals, true love and the constant battle between good and evil as played out in our treatment of the land.
Ellen Bromfield Bold and her husband Carson continue the rich Bromfield legacy raising cattle, grass and pecans on their farm in Brazil.
Out of print for decades, the very best of Bromfield's country classics are presented here in a unique volume that is sure to captivate the hearts and "spark" the minds of city and country folks alike.
