Story of My Boyhood and Youth

Life should be spent, it seems, where the gay colors of the young season show not in habderdashers' windows but in meadow and forest; where the odor of April, unmarred by smoke and dust, rises sweet and strong. But even for the desk-fettered there is some balm. A kindly magician has put all outdoors between the green covers of a book. John Muir's The Story of My Boyhood and Youth is as invigorating as the wind that blows from the North Sea through his native village on the coast of Scotland."Muir, John is the author of 'Story of My Boyhood and Youth', published 1989 under ISBN 9780871567499 and ISBN 0871567490.
