The Book of Stillmeadow by Gladys Taber is a beloved memoir of country life in rural New England, originally published in 1948 and reissued here in 1984 by Harper & Row. This hardcover edition captures Taber’s warm, reflective writing as she shares her experiences restoring and living in a historic farmhouse with family, friends, and beloved animals.
Blending personal narrative with observations of nature and the changing seasons, the book offers a gentle portrait of simple living, community, and the rhythms of rural life. Taber’s storytelling evokes a nostalgic, comforting vision of home and tradition that continues to resonate with readers.
This copy includes its original dust jacket, which shows noticeable wear, chipping, and edge tears. The book itself remains solid with clean pages and a sturdy binding. A charming addition for collectors of nature writing, memoir, and classic American nonfiction.
Please see photographs for information about the book contained on the dust jacket flaps, back cover synopsis, forward, preface and/or first chapter.
