The Inland Island

<p>"The Inland Island" is a powerful, evocative and lyrical description of nature's changes, wonders and tragedies, recorded in the twelve months of the year by a marvelously perceptive and original observer, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Josephine Johnson. This is a "nature book," but a deceptively simple one: for, like Thoreau, Miss Johnson goes far beyond a mere description of nature. Her "inland island" is both her own farm - an enclosure of wilderness surrounded by an ever more savage and intrusive society - and the burning core of her convictions about man's cruelty, the demands of individual conscience at a time of war and conflict, her own determination to resist an increasingly brutalized and mechanical civilization.</p>
