Summary of The Land of Little Rain Summary of The Land of Little Rain Reviews for The Land of Little Rain An Excerpt from The Land of Little Rain
A stunning tribute to the savage beauty of the area known as Death Valley. To most travelers it is a parched, empty territory, unwelcoming and forgiving. In a collection of essays that date back almost a century, naturalist and writer Mary Austin (1868-1934) breathes life into the desert landscape, describing its savage beauty, its plants and animals, and the occasional human visitor.
