Hannah gifted this to Katie one birthday many moons ago and now she cannot imagine life without it.

This is a classic, best-selling guide to alternative country life, entirely handwritten in the author's script and illustrated with her line drawings. It is a practical home reference volume that includes information on organic gardening, outdoor cooking, crafts, herbology, midwifery, backpacking, survival, first aid, making and playing musical instruments, sewing, pattern drafting, building a kiln, a kayak, an ice chest, making candles, soap, ink, beaded curtains, ice cream, tamales, and, at the end, how to cremate. A list of magical books, and websites for finding intentional communitees and ecovillages, along with a star map and an old English poem to the moon, follow the index.
