Hello All,
I am looking for books ,fiction or non-fiction, with rural themes.
A good example is Heidi which has a rural Swiss setting.
Also I would prefer if the novel's setting is in the mountains.
Genre of the book is immaterial to me.
I don't mind whether it is a horror (Misery by King comes to mind) or classical work(Huckleberry Finn) as long as it has a rural ambiance.
Thanks for your time :)

Well, Agatha Christie writes in a variety of countries and the English countryside.
