- Description
- xii, 318 p. : ill.; 22 cm.
- Summary
- Clear brush and paths. Lay hardwood floor. Install wiring. Make a living. Take a vacation.
- These are some of the items that Adrian Hoover jotted down on his to-do list, soon after he and his wife, Helen, gave up urban comforts for the deeper delights of the wilderness in 1954. The Years of the Forest by Helen Hoover elaborates on that deceptively short list and describes the difficulties inherent in accomplishing each of those tasks. In fact, it would take sixteen years to check off every item on the list. This is the story of the Hoovers' education in wilderness housekeeping and of the surprising challenges they faced at each step. --from back cover.
