This story was based on almnazo, wilders future husband life as a middle class farmer in New York. I’ve given this book 3 stars as the pacing was slightly laborious, with I beleive; too much emphasis placed on the description and process of every farmer product created or needed on the farm. As a result this book took a Tolkien-esque writing method that was beneficial for imformation dissemination but unfortunately dulled the vibrancy of the story.
However as this story is geared towards children, is encourgaes children to understand the privilege and convience based world we currently live in. Furthermore it forces children to understand and comprehend the values and requirements to be a middle class farmer during the pioneer/Coloniser times.
