Title: A leader of "return to the woods" tales
Review: As a fervent fan of memoirs about returning to the land/roots I am a little ashamed that I only discovered Louise Dickinson Rich's work recently. Even more surprised was I, given her modern voice, when I realized that "We Took to the Woods" was written in the 40's. References to using Model T's to haul logs (sacrilege now) clued me in.It is sure fun to read about how even back then people wondered how someone could stand living in the backwoods of Maine. Louise answers such questions with a delightful mix of amusing stories, witticisms, and no-nonsense "Well, why not?"s.I would have liked to have known LDR personally -- she's a hoot. Read all of her works if you can.
