The story deals with the author's personal experience of removing his family from the bustle of New York City, to a simple life of hunting, fishing and gardening, on Long Island. There are a few how-to details, but overall the book is about WHY this move took place, and how it benefited the author, his wife and children. More joyous and inspiring than Thoreau's "Walden Pond", and more realistic than Morris's "Ten Acres Enough", this back-to-basics story of better living on less money, in the country, is a pleasure to read.
