Vermont Is Always With You

"Vermont is Always With You" is a collection of thirty humorous and spirited pieces about the Wolf family and their adventures in Vermont and in Boston, New York, and Kansas. It teems with Vermont-style confrontation and crisis generated by people interacting with animals, things, and other people. The merriment of daily living pops out in these light-hearted essays. Maggie Wolf has learned a great deal about country living, but she is always able to see the brighter side of life on the farm; she prefers laughter to the tears of frustration.
