5.0 out of 5 stars
A stunningly beautiful book.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Before Life Hurries On (Hardcover)
Simply put, the book, BEFORE LIFE HURRIES ON, is an elegant, stunningly beautiful marriage of poetry (Jenepher Lingelbach) and art (Sabra Field) that celebrates life, nature and Vermont. It does this with spare lines that have profound meaning. This is not just another good book by regional artists, it is a classic book with meaning for anyone who loves rural people, their communities, the land they work and the essence of nature which both surrounds and touches them. If there were more stars in Amazon's rating system, this book would use them all up.

This review is from: Before Life Hurries On (Hardcover)
This is a delightful little book. The talents of both Sabra Field and Jenepher Lingelbach meld superbly to portray that special feel of northern New England through the seasons. A great gift for anyone who appreciates this part of the world.
