| Summary | "In Pastures Green" by Peter McArthur is a collection of reflective essays written in the early 20th century. The book shares the author’s experiences and observations of farming life, emphasizing the human side of agricultural work rather than scientific agricultural methods. The tone is conversational and humorous, suggesting that McArthur's primary aim is to entertain and enlighten city dwellers about the joys and challenges of rural life. The opening of the book outlines McArthur's intent to connect city dwellers with farming, sparked by reflections during World War I about the importance of returning to the land. He shares his own five-year journey as a farmer, recounting the successes and humorous failures he faced. Through vivid descriptions, he paints a relatable picture of farm life, including details of managing livestock, fruit orchards, and the farming schedules that dictate daily routines. McArthur intends to highlight both the beauty and simplicity of rural life, encouraging city men to consider their own relationship with the land as he muses on the essentials of self-sufficiency during difficult times.
