| Publisher Description: Irvin S. Cobb was a beloved celebrity and jack-of-all-trades in early 20th-century America. Journalism, humor writing, acting . . . you name it, he could do it. In the 1920 non-fiction comedy The Abandoned Farmers, he describes his latest profession--farming. What could go wrong when a couple of city dwellers go back to the land to renovate an abandoned farm? A lot, apparently. A trail-blazer in American agrarian humor, The Abandoned Farmers is a gentle parody of the city-country divide. |
