review 1: I loved this book. Parry's writing style is enjoyable to read. I wasn't sure that I wanted to read about a year of farming, and so I borrowed this from the library instead of buying a copy. However, I would have gotten my money's worth if I had bought a copy. She infuses what could be a dry boring subject, with humor and enthusiasm. She loves her farm and farming and that comes out through her writing. If I were a knitter, I would buy a copy for myself, just for the patterns. As it is, I do plan on buying a copy for my favorite knitter in my life!
review 2: I have never wanted to raise animals, knit, spin or do any of the other jobs detailed in this book. Despite this, I found the writing to be engaging and the activities described highly interesting. The fou... morer seasons of working a fiber farm are assigned their special tasks and the author's attention to detail and scientific method of farming are a delight. Stories of the animals, fiber fairs and animal auctions attended, and methods of processing wool are the highlights. This was a really enjoyable book. less
