Weary of the city’s house of bondage, the narrator sets out to find a better way of getting a living and of living. He searches for the picturesque, finds his cottage, works out what happiness costs and how to live on less, and learns about neighbours, solitude and the difficulties of a seclusion he had long desired.
A gentle early manifesto of the simple life, still appealing to anyone dreaming of a cottage. Download the free EPUB.
