The Land of Little Rain

by Mary Austin

The Land of Little Rain Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A stunning tribute to the savage beauty of the area known as Death Valley. To most travelers it is a parched, empty territory, unwelcoming and forgiving. In a collection of essays that date back almost a century, naturalist and writer Mary Austin (1868-1934) breathes life into the desert landscape, describing its savage beauty, its plants and animals, and the occasional human visitor.

Synopsis:

A classic of southwestern literature by a woman ahead of her time.
