In the spring of 1991, Noel Perrin flew from Vermont to California to pick up his newly outfitted electric car, a former gas-guzzling Ford. It would not be easy, but Perrin planned to drive Solo--as the car was soon dubbed--home, a 3,100-mile drive. Here is the picturesque story of the trip--from Solo's struggle with gravity at Donner Pass to an encounter with a man with four electric cars in Rotterdam, New York.

First and Second Person Rural (Essays of a Sometime Farmer)
(Two book set: First Person Rural / Second Person Rural: E...)
Two book set: First Person Rural / Second Person Rural: Essays and More Essays of a Sometime Farmer. FIRST PERSON RURAL: In these wry, elegantly written essays a New Yorker transplanted to rural Vermont chronicles the life and times of a "sometime farmer". Noel Perrin's witty ruminations range from making butter in the kitchen, finding the perfect fence post, raising sheep, and grading maple syrup to ways of selling hand-felled firewood to snobs on Park Avenue. Delightful illustrations by Stephen Harvard accompany the test. SECOND PERSON RURAL: In this delightful sequel to First Person Rural, Noel Perrin offers more graceful, witty ruminations on the country life. He writes admiringly, but without romanticizing, of the skills and savvy of native New England farmers and takes a gently sardonic look at city visitors on the lookout for the "picturesque". Perrin also muses in a more philosophical vein on the sorts of adjustments every transplanted city dweller must make in the country.

(One of four volumes of incisive essays on rural life that...)
One of four volumes of incisive essays on rural life that addresses not only the many how-to questions that bedevil country dwellers, but also the larger direction that life is taking on this planet. Perrin, a transplanted New Yorker and now a "real" Vermonter, candidly admits his early mistakes while giving concrete advice on matters such as what to do with maple syrup (other than put it on your pancakes), how to use a peavey, and how to replace your rototiller with a garden animal.

This is a significant story, and Perrin tells it marvelously well, with rich detail, captivating quotations from observers of the time, both Japanese and Western, and a wealth of revealing comparisons with contemporary technology, warfare, and life in Europe. This little book is both thought-provoking and a delight to read. Edwin O. Reischauer, Former U.S. Ambassador to Japan
