New - Wingfield's World: The Complete Letters From Wingfield Farm Book

Fed up with his life as a Bay Street stockbroker, Walt Wingfield decides to live the life many a city-dweller dreams of: he quits his job and buys a hundred-acre farm just north of the city in Persephone Township. Persephone is populated by eccentric philosophers, wily survivors, rascals, cranks and hapless heroes, and Walt soon discovers that anything can happen in this marvellous rural community—and often does. In a series of letters to the editor of the local newspaper, Walt chronicles his modest successes and spectacular defeats in an age when farming faces an uncertain future and the voices from the old rural community are slipping away. Dan Needles’ rich and charming rural neighbourhood of Persephone may be difficult to find on a map but it is very close to the Canadian soul. Based on the one-man stage plays that have enthralled audiences for almost thirty years, Wingfield’s World is the full story of one man’s attempt to embrace a less complicated world, and how he ends up with more complication and drama, and more love and richness, than he could have imagined. *** NOTE: BOOK ORDERS WILL BE SHIPPED IN PRIORITY BEGINNING OCTOBER 18, 2011 (OFFICIAL RELEASE DATE) Wingfield's World The Complete Letters from Wingfield Farm - Written by Dan Needles Category: Fiction - Humorous; Drama - Canadian Format: Trade Paperback, 448 pages - Publisher: Vintage Canada - ISBN: 978-0-307-36084-7 (0-307-36084-9) - Publication Date: October 18, 2011
