Simplifying Life

This book was put together to emphasize the light and helpful way it tells the stories of real people who followed up their urge to simplify their lives and get closer to nature. This is an update of two classic books and has their excellent drawings throughout. This new compilation tells how these peoples' lives and homesteads faired over the intervening years. Life turned out not always to be simpler, but their satisfactions at having created their own homes was genuine. There is practical information for those interested in trying it out, but the stories are intended to make enjoyable armchair reading by themselves.
