A charming novel, transporting the reader to the pastoral simplicity of a mountain village, where the hectic pace of modern life is forgotten. With a love story, a community crisis that resolves in celebration, a renewed sense of our relationship to the mystery of the natural world, this is a utopian novel for the soul.
George Harold "Hal" Bennett (1936 – 2004),[1][2] was an author known for a variety of books. His 1974 novel Lord of Dark Places was described as "a satirical and all but scatological attack on the phallic myth",[3] and was reprinted in 1997. He was Playboy's most promising writer of the year [1]. He has also written under the pen names Harriet Janeway and John D. Revere (the Assassin series). His books are sometimes compared to Mark Twain's style of satire, but contain a much stronger sexual tone.
