Book Overview

2021 Reprint of the 1925 Illustrated Edition. Illustrated by Gordon Grant. Full facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Porter's novel recounts the life of James Lewis MacFarlane, a young WWI veteran who escapes from a military hospital to avoid being sent to a tubercular isolation camp and who eventually finds himself at work aiding a beekeeper. It is there that he finds the courage to recover from his wounds, and for his efforts is rewarded with adventure, happiness, and love. It is also a story of the restorative power and beauty of nature, a dominant theme in Porter's work. There have been several adaptations of this novel to film.
