Turn Not Pale, Beloved Snail; A Book about Writing among Other Things.
(Dust jacket notes: "Some people think of writers as those...)
Dust jacket notes: "Some people think of writers as those who spend their lives huddled in a garret scribbling away and never experiencing real life. Jacqueline Jackson, noted author of many books, says that anyone, child or adult, who wants to write meaningfully and well cannot afford to hide away from life. Indeed, she suggests that it is only by opening up all our senses to the myriad aspects of life around us that our writing can become rich and colorful. Using examples from the work of writers, giving insights into her own methods of writing, and inviting the reader to share many of her own family's feelings and experiences, Mrs. Jackson echoes the lines of Lewis Carroll's 'The Lobster-Quadrille': 'Turn not pale, beloved snail, but come and join the dance.' The dance is life; the writing is about it. Jacqueline Jackson gives us all a very special invitation to join in."

"They were traveling through Vermont now---Papa's home state. He had told her about the hogback hills where whippoorwills called lonesomely, and streams tumbled down through tall timber, past sloping farms whose rocky pastures were bordered with stone walls. Some of the stones, he'd said, were big as pianos, and it took three men to roll them from the fields with levers. She could hardly imagine such stones. It was difficult to find one the size of her fist in the flat cornfields at home."

In this much anticipated companion volume to Stories from the Round Barn, Jackson assembles a collection of rich narratives and a cast of inspirational characters to joyously illustrate life. In the tradition of Willa Cather, Jackson writes of innocence, simplicity, and what happens when both are messily shattered by the intrusion of animals, children, war, epidemics, and progress itself. With wit and compassion Jackson recollects the hardships and satisfactions of farm life as lived according to her grandfather's motto: "Life as Well as a Living."
