Hill Farm Story - Ruth Janette Ruck 1966 1st ed. (Preloved)

A warm, gently told tale rooted in the rhythms of country life. Set on a small hill farm, the story follows a young protagonist as they navigate family, responsibility, and the changing seasons, discovering the quiet satisfactions—and challenges—of rural living. With its affectionate portrayal of animals, farm work, and close-knit community, Ruck’s writing captures a slower, more thoughtful way of life, celebrating resilience, kindness, and a deep connection to the land.

A charming mid-20th-century children’s story, Hill Farm Story will appeal to readers who enjoy classic countryside fiction and nostalgic depictions of growing up close to nature.
