The Simple Life? A Farmland Sermon by Mr Grayson
A book review contrasts Adventures in Contentment with Prue and I and critiques its pastoral trope. It questions the author’s idealization of country life, argues that industry and progress belong to both town and country, and challenges the book’s moral lessons and rhetorical sermons.
