This edition of A Place in The Woods by Helen Hoover has been finely illustrated by Adrian Hoover. This copy is a 4th Printing, Nov. 1969 by Knopf Publishing. The book tells of how Helen and her husband left the big city and settled in a remote cabin in the Minnesota northern wilderness. Neither of the pair had any experience in nature. Their first year was dotted with near-disasters. But they persevered. They realized their desire to live a simple Thoreau-like life was not enough. Leaky roofs needed fixed, the ax must be mastered in preparation for winter, and despite setbacks they rebuilt their cabin and their life.
