A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Once upon a time God made a fair green valley in the North Country. The surrounding hills were wooded with noble trees, the green pastures were watered by fresh clear streams. Overhead the blue arch of heaven was swept by sweet, clean, pine-scented winds. The people of this country were thrifty and industrious, spinning and delving, sowing and reaping, and, taken all round, as happy and contented as any on the face of this earth, where men and women are bom each to their share of educational sorrow, as surely as the sparks fly upward. But with the turning of Time swheel came a change. The Juggernaut-car of so-called progress rolled over that country, crushing out all its fair beauty. Gone now are the woods and the green pastures. Stunted and blighted the scarce trees and flowers. The once life-giving winds are laden with coal-dust and grit, which chokes the green life at its birth. The streams and rivers run murky and foul, and the sky hangs like a grey pall, blotting out the sun, which tries in vain to pierce through the dense atmosphere.
