Finding Happiness in Simplicity - Everyday Joys for Simple Living Throughout the Year

Informationen zum Autor Gail Fraser was a senior executive with several Fortune 500 companies before deciding to leave the corporate track for a simpler life. She is the author of five books in the "Lumby" series (which has been described as "Mitford-esque") with NAL, including The Lumby Lines and Stealing Lumby. Art Poulin is considered one of America's foremost folk artists whose paintings sell for thousands of dollars. His art has appeared on publications with the U.S. Army and Penguin Group publishing, on Fox's House, and as gifts in celebrity "swag bags" at the 83rd Academy Awards. His landscapes blend his love for America's simplicity with a deep appreciation and knowledge of twentieth-century architecture, offering a perspective and sophistication frequently lost in typical folk art.
