Great book, Wild - I was hiking the trail with Cheryl Strayed
1 von 1 finden das hilfreich I bought this book for a book club I belong to. Normally I try to get the required book from the library but there were no copies available. I thought this would be an interesting book to own in any case so found it at a good price on ebay. I enjoyed the book very much, being familiar with the scenery described and some of the pain and struggles associated with hiking such a trail. Cheryl Strayed uses very good description and a way of keeping your attention - it is quite a page turner. I really like the look and feel of the book which is very evocative of the subject. As a result of reading this I immediately obtained her novel, Torch, which reads like an autobiography, although it is supposed to be fictitious. I would highly recommend that book too.

Fascinating book on a great painter
This is a wonderfully well written book on the life of Andrew Wyeth. The author has an elegant use of words and description. He knew his subject well and delves into the life of a fascinating character.

Illustrated book about life on a hill farm in N. Wales.
I bought this book mainly for the beautiful pastel illustrations after seeing it in an art gallery in North Wales. While on holiday in Wales I did not buy the book, being discouraged to do so by my husband. Once home in California, I searched the internet for it and found it here on ebay, even a signed, limited edition of the first edition. I was so thrilled and the price was excellent. I have yet to read it all,and that is a treat in store. This book is also a nice size, only about 8" x 10" I think. It is on good quality, slightly shiny, heavy paper and the reproductions look as though they are true to color. The author and illustrator, Keith Bowen,is a renowned Welsh artist and this copy actually includes a set of his Wintertime stamps designed for the Royal Mail and produced in 1992. With or without these stamps I would highly recommend this book both to artists and people with a love of the countryside; the life of a sheep farmer on the slopes of Snowdon is described in detail throughout the year, both in pictures and words.
