(from the rear cover) A folk-tale about New England and her ideals, Yonderville has been called "as American as Thoreau, as indigenous as hickory nuts..." Witty and imaginative, poetic yet completely down-to-earth, the story develops true rural characters as Mr. Abbe has known them all his life in New England villages, and at the same tinme revivifies and weaves through their careers -- always dramatic and sometimes astounding -- the theme of our transcendent values, the morality of a past we must reapture, the richness and the strength of our American Dream which we have relinquished of betrayed.
